Frequently Asked Questions
What is passive fire protection?
PFP comprises building elements and systems designed to restrict the spread of fire and smoke, protect structural stability where required, and support safe evacuation. Examples include fire-resisting walls and floors, fire doors, firestopping systems and protected service penetrations.
How often should compartmentation be surveyed?
The appropriate frequency depends on the building's fire risk, condition, use, alterations and existing inspection and maintenance arrangements. Surveys may also be required following refurbishment, service installations or identified defects. We can help clients establish a proportionate inspection approach.
Why is PFP Important?
PFP is crucial as it helps to contain fires and smoke in specially designed building compartments, allowing time for occupants to escape safely and reduces the risk of structural damage.
What information should be kept regarding fire safety in your building?
Useful records include survey reports, defect schedules, photographs, specifications, product and installation documentation, remedial work records and relevant inspection findings. Together, these can support ongoing fire safety management and the maintenance of building safety information where applicable.
