The office environment will typically constitute a smaller space which contains a large number of employees, therefore you will need to comply with all manner of safety regulations and common fire risk assessments for the space to be deemed a safe working area. The unpredictability of fires within an office means that you can’t afford to delay when it comes to utilities and safety solutions.
Consult JNR Limited for fire protection solutions nationwide. Whether you’re seeking fire doors for a number of Birmingham warehouses, or protection utilities for a Central London workplace, read on for our office fire protection essentials.
Cavity Barriers
Cavity barriers are considered crucial fire protection and are a legal requirement which should have ideally been included during the construction of your office. Older buildings may not have been built to this standard however, therefore the installation of these fire-resistant sealant materials is essential to prevent the spread of fire and smoke in a confined space.
Wall-Mounted Utilities
Wall-mounted utilities such as fire blankets and fire extinguishers should be a common sight within the office, otherwise you may not be fulfilling your duty to adequately protect employees. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order of 2005 dictates that an employer must provide not only adequate measures for the prevention of a blaze but also the correct utilities for fighting fires on the premises. The clear display and provision of blankets, nitrogen fire extinguishers and other utilities should be applicable to the number of employees within a space.
Fire Doors
Fire doors are an absolute essential in any office, regardless of size. Useful as an alternative means of escape in the event of a fire, fire doors must be functional and practical, with escapes that are fitted badly or difficult to open unlikely to comply with safety regulations. Doors from JNR Limited will be installed with a solid timber frame, innovative intumescent seal, and threshold seals to prevent the spread of smoke, while we undertake fire door maintenance for your peace of mind.
