Why Is This Course Important?

Fire doors must be correctly installed to comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and Building Regulations 2010. They are essential to a building’s passive fire protection by limiting the spread of smoke and flames and protecting escape routes. Installers must provide the responsible person with documentation and certification for completed work. This course offers guidance on regulations and installation to ensure compliant and effective fire door installations.
