Premier Technical Services Group Ltd (PTSG) is one of the UK’s leading providers of fire solutions. The Group provides service to customers in a wide number of industry sectors – including passive fire services.
The British Woodworking Federation (BWF) owns and manages Fire Door Safety Week. The event is scheduled from September 25th to 29th. Its aim is to raise awareness of the critical importance of fire doors in saving lives and protecting buildings of all kinds in the unfortunate event of a fire.
On its website, PTSG declares that the foundation of all building construction must be fire safety. Fire safety assets should be part of every building’s design. These assets must then receive rigorous regular testing and maintenance, ensuring compliance with the latest industry regulations.
PTSG works with building owners and managers to reduce their risk by providing specialist fire safety equipment and services.
PTSG employs LPCB, BM TRADA and Firas certified experts who specialise in the inspection and remediation of internal timber doors and front entrance door-sets. Its certified technicians provide assurance that every aspect of a building’s fire doors is functioning in accordance with fire regulations.
PTSG’s comprehensive fire door inspection service has been designed to meet third-party certification standards. It provides assurance and evidence to the responsible person that fire doors perform as they should in the event of a fire, protecting lives and properties. The certified fire door service assures that it actively manages fire safety risk and ensures that clients’ fire doors and door sets function as intended.
Fit-for-purpose fire doors
To comply with both the Building Regulations and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order (RRO) which say the responsible person must manage and reduce fire risk, independent third-party certification provides proof of the fire doors’ ability to hold back the spread of smoke and fire in the event of fire.
Third-party certification verifies that fire doors have undergone a rigorous audit to prove they are fit-for-purpose. It is also to ensure that they are operating to the same specification and quality as that originally tested. The responsible person is provided with visibility and traceability of the lifespan of their fire doors including information manufacturer information.
PTSG works with clients from all sectors. This includes working extensively with social housing providers and other public sector organisations to deliver fire door services. Included are other range of passive fire services to ensure social housing residents safe in their homes.
Fire Door Safety Week Events
There are a number of events taking place from 25th to 29th September to enable those in the industry to further their understanding of the critical role that fire doors play in protecting lives and property.
