Why fire stopping solutions are essential for every organisation

Fire can strike anywhere, at any time – even in (and especially in) places with high footfall. In environments that cater for hundreds, if not thousands, of people every single day, having extra minutes to evacuate the building and avoid the devastating effects of fire and smoke really can save lives.

But aside from the very real moral obligation to ensure your premises is well protected, you also have a legal duty to maintain compliant passive fire protection provisions under a range of UK safety laws, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, and Building Regulations Part B.

Additionally, putting the right products and strategies in place will help you mitigate reputational risk and avoid any expensive penalties should the worst happen. You will also be better equipped to demonstrate compliance during audits, provide clear proof of your fire stopping activities for insurers and fire authorities, and protect your organisation’s critical systems against structural damage and disruption.
