RWB Fire Door Solutions is supporting Fire Door Safety Week 2024

Fire Door Safety Week 2024 is a significant event in the calendar for professionals in the fire safety and construction industries, as well as for the general public. It's a time when the spotlight is on the critical role that fire doors play in protecting lives and property. This year, RWB Fire Door Solutions is proud to be a supporter of this crucial campaign.

The British Woodworking Federation’s Fire Door Safety Week aims to raise awareness about the importance of fire doors and educate people on how to recognize and report problems with these vital safety features. The campaign's theme, will no doubt build on the success of the 2023 message  "Recognise it, Report it," highlights the alarming fact that a significant portion of the UK public is unable to identify a faulty fire door, which can lead to catastrophic consequences in the event of a fire.

RWB Fire Door Solutions is taking an active role in promoting fire door safety by participating in various events and webinars scheduled throughout the week. These educational sessions are designed to address common issues surrounding fire doors, provide insights from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 2 report, and discuss the revised BS 8214 code of practice for fire doors.

Moreover, RWB Fire Door Solutions is contributing to the community by sharing resources from the Fire Door Safety Week Toolkit. This includes the 5 Step Fire Door Check, a simple yet effective method for anyone to assess the integrity of fire doors in their buildings. The toolkit also offers posters, campaign films, and other materials to help spread the message about fire door safety.

Fire Door Safety Week is not just about the technical aspects of fire doors; it's about instilling a sense of responsibility in everyone, from manufacturers to end-users. By supporting this campaign, RWB Fire Door Solutions is demonstrating its commitment to the safety and well-being of individuals and communities.

As we approach Fire Door Safety Week, let's all take a moment to appreciate the often-overlooked fire door. It's not just a door; it's a lifeline in the event of a fire. Let's ensure that these doors are properly installed, maintained, and respected for the critical role they play.
