Why Is Fire Door Maintenance Training Important?

Fire doors play a key role in fire safety by protecting escape routes and containing the spread of flames and smoke. Over time, faults and wear can compromise performance, increasing risk. Under Article 17 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, fire safety measures, including fire doors, must be maintained in efficient working order. Regular maintenance reduces risk and helps ensure compliance. This course guides users on regulatory requirements and best practices for maintaining fire doors safely and compliantly.
