What type of Fire Risk Assessment do we need?
The appropriate assessment type depends on building complexity, construction certainty and risk profile. Type 1 assessments are non-intrusive. Type 2 assessments include targeted intrusive investigation. Type 4 assessments involve full intrusive structural verification. Assessment scope should be proportionate to building
Do fire door inspections include risk scoring?
No. Fire door inspections focus on compliance assessment and defect categorisation. Where required, findings may inform wider fire risk assessment or strategy review.
Can we use our existing asset register?
Yes. Where asset integration is enabled, existing door records can be linked within the platform. Inspection responses can automatically populate relevant asset fields to maintain accurate digital records.
Is fire door tagging required?
Physical tagging is not always mandatory but can significantly improve traceability, inspection history tracking and long-term compliance management, particularly in larger or higher-risk properties.
Who can carry out a fire door inspection?
Inspections should be undertaken by competent individuals with appropriate knowledge of fire door construction, installation and performance requirements.
How often should fire doors be inspected?
Inspection frequency depends on building type, occupancy and risk profile. High-traffic or higher-risk buildings may require more frequent inspection, particularly where doors form part of a critical compartmentation strategy.
