Passive fire protection products

A fire can cause serious damage to a building and result in a business having to cease trading. If a fire does break out, it is important that all appropriate protective measures are in place to minimise the spread of a fire. This can be achieved by having sufficient passive fire protection products located in the right places within a building.

Fires can spread rapidly throughout a building if they are not dealt with properly and passive fire protection is focused on preventing fire from spreading using the internal structure of a building. Installation takes place within ceilings and walls and consists of fire doors, fire dampers and smoke extracts. Cables and pipework should also be checked thoroughly to ensure there are no breaches to any previous fire resisting construction work carried out.

A detailed check by a fire risk assessor will help to make sure that all fire safety measures are fully intact and any issues identified can be addressed quickly. Regular checks of a building are required, especially for those where regular updates and modifications are being made. Thorough inspections will ensure that any faulty passive fire protection products are found and fixed.
