Fire Door Risk Assessments

Fire doors are designed to contain a fire to a single compartment of a building, therefore reducing the risk to those in other compartments of the building. So they are a key component of compliance to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the recent Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. Just having fire doors in place isn’t enough. They should be properly maintained and installed with certificated components in accordance with their fire rating. To ensure the proper function and integrity you should complete a fired door risk assessment every 6 months (and every 3 months in high usage buildings). A fire door risk assessment is a proactive approach to maintaining safety standards in your building.

At OCD FM, we understand the importance of regular fire door risk assessments to ensure the safety and compliance of your building. Our team of experts conduct comprehensive, non-destructive inspections to evaluate the condition of your fire doors and identify any potential issues. We take into account the current legislation and safety standards, ensuring your building is fully compliant. We deliver detailed fire door risk assessments reports on the condition of the entire doorset, including any recommended remedial works and upgrades, to help you make informed decisions and keep your building safe.

Fire Risk Assessments

At OCD FM, we offer professional Fire Risk Assessments (FRA) to ensure your building is fully compliant with current legislation and safety standards. Our team of experts conduct a thorough examination of your building, identifying potential fire hazards, evaluating the effectiveness of existing fire safety measures and making recommendations for improvements, where necessary.

We work closely with building owners and managers to ensure that your building is safe for occupants, including those with special needs, and that all recommendations are implemented to protect the building, its contents, and the people in it.

Fire Door Remedial Repairs

Fire Door Remedial Repairs are vital to your passive fire protection strategy. Any damage to your fire doors can result in them being unfit for their initial purpose, preventing the spread of fire by partitioning the building in the case of fire to protect lives and your assets. The good news is that if your fire door is damaged you may not have to replace the whole thing, it could be repaired. OCD Fire Management undertake Fire Door Remedial Repairs for businesses in commercial, industrial and educational settings across England. If your fire door can be repaired we will always take this route rather than go straight to a replacement.

Fire Door Supply & Installation

At OCD FM, we offer a wide range of approved fire door options for commercial, industrial, educational and residential properties. We supply and install new fire-rated doorsets in various materials, including timber, metal and composite materials, for single swing, single-leaf, and double-leaf pedestrian doors, and large power-operated steel doors. We can also upgrade existing doors to meet current fire regulations, ensuring your building is safe and compliant. Our team of experts is fully certified and approved to the highest quality standards, so our customers can rest assured that they are in safe hands.

Fire Door Inspections

Regular Fire Door Inspections are important to ensure that fire doors continue to function properly and meet safety standards. Our team of experts conduct comprehensive inspections to evaluate the condition of your fire doors, identify any potential issues and provide recommendations for any necessary repairs or upgrades. We take into account current legislation and safety standards, ensuring that your building is fully compliant and your fire doors are functioning as intended to slow down the spread of fire and smoke, giving occupants more time to evacuate and fire crews more time to access the building.

Fire Compartmentation Surveys

Fire compartmentation is an important aspect of passive fire protection, which involves subdividing buildings into smaller, manageable areas in order to contain a fire in the event of an outbreak.

Our team of experts conduct comprehensive Fire Compartmentation Surveys to evaluate the fire-resistance and integrity of your building, identify potential issues and make recommendations for any necessary improvements.

We take into account current legislation and safety standards, ensuring that your building is fully compliant and that occupants are protected in the event of a fire.

Fire Compartmentation Installation

Based on the findings of our Fire Compartmentation Surveys, our team of experts can provide installation services to improve the fire-resistance and integrity of your building.

This can include installing fire walls, fire barriers, fire-rated partitions, and fire-rated glazing, approved fire doors as well as retrofitting existing systems.

We work closely with building owners and managers to ensure that all work is carried out in accordance with current legislation and safety standards, ensuring that your building is fully compliant and that occupants are protected in the event of a fire.

Fire Alarm Installation & Maintenance

At OCD FM, we offer fire alarm installation and maintenance services for commercial, industrial, educational and residential properties. Our team of experts are fully trained and qualified to design, install, commission, and maintain fire alarm systems to the highest standards. We take into account current legislation and safety standards, ensuring that your building is fully compliant and that your fire alarm system is always operating at optimal performance to protect your building and its occupants in the event of a fire.

Fire Rated Access Panels

A fire rated access panel is a specially designed access point built into walls, ceilings, or other structures, which offers access to concealed spaces (where a shut off valve may be concealed for instance) while maintaining enhanced fire resistance. They are particularly important as part of a buildings fire safety strategy as they prevent the spread of fire. A correctly fitted panel will ensure that, if a fire breaks out, the panel will act as a barrier, slowing down the fire’s progression. Fire Rated Access Panels are constructed using materials that can withstand high temperatures for specified periods. These include steel aluminium coupled with either fire-resistant insulation or fireproof gypsum which can typically resist for for between 1 and 4 hours. This gives occupants adequate time to evacuate the building and gives the emergency services a better chance to control the situation. Our team of engineers can supply and install Fire Rated Access Panels to buildings in commercial, industrial and educational settings across England.

We source a wide range of wall mounted, ceiling mounted or custom fire rated access panels, all of which have been rigorously tested to ensure compliance with all current fire safety regulations. Whether you’re looking for someone to install standard fire rated access panels, double door panels for larger openings or bespoke fire rated panels for a unique project, our experienced team can source the best product for your needs and install it to comply with all current building regulations. We can also regularly check and maintain your panels to ensure that any signs of wear and tear to intumescent seals are repaired or replaced to ensure full functionality.

AOV Maintenance

AOVs or Automatic Opening Vents are a part of a buildings smoke ventilation system and are a crucial part of a buildings overall fire safety strategy. Like all life protecting equipment, it should be in good working order at all times. So regular maintenance and testing is crucial for the proper functioning of AOV systems. Our team of experts can provide comprehensive AOV maintenance services, including inspections, testing, and repairs, to ensure that your AOVs are always operating at optimal performance. We take into account current legislation and safety standards, and we can also provide scheduled maintenance plans to keep your AOVs in good condition, provide compliance certifications and peace of mind.

AOV maintenance not only ensures the optimal operation of your system in the event of a fire, it can also help to prolong the life of this essential life saving apparatus. Scheduled preventative maintenance can save you costly repairs in the long run.

Emergency Lighting Testing

Emergency lighting is an essential part of any buildings fire safety strategy. It plays an important role in illuminating escape routes in the event of an emergency where power is lost or sight is severely reduced e.g. in a fire. Like all fire safety measures, it’s a legal requirement to ensure that your Emergency Lighting is tested regularly to ensure it is in full working order and ready should an emergency happen. OCD-FM’s qualified engineers can provide Emergency Lighting Testing to buildings of all types and work within commercial, industrial and educational settings across the Midlands and South East of England.

Electrical Installation Condition Reporting

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a necessary document to show that, as a building owner, you have ensured that all electrical installations and systems within the property are correctly installed, safe and well maintained. It’s also known as a Homebuyers Test or Landlord Safety Test and needs to be be produced by a qualified electrician or electrical engineer.

Fire Extinguisher Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for the proper functioning of fire extinguishers. At OCD FM, we provide fire extinguisher maintenance services, including inspections, testing, and repairs, to ensure that your fire extinguishers are always ready for use in case of an emergency. Our team of experts are fully trained and qualified to handle all types of fire extinguishers, including water, foam, CO2, powder, and wet chemical extinguishers, ensuring that they comply with current legislation and safety standards. We can also provide scheduled maintenance plans to keep your fire extinguishers in good condition and ensure compliance.

Dry Lining

At OCD FM, we provide fire protection dry lining services for commercial, industrial, educational and residential properties. Dry lining is the process of applying a layer of insulation, or a fire-resistant material, to the internal walls of a building to improve thermal insulation, sound insulation, and fire resistance.

Our team of experts are fully trained and qualified to install fire protection dry lining materials and systems, ensuring that they comply with current legislation and safety standards. We use the latest technology and materials to provide high-quality and reliable dry lining services that can not only improve the energy efficiency of your building but also increase fire resistance to protect the building and its occupants in the event of a fire.

We can also handle complex projects and integrate drylining with other fire protection or insulation projects to achieve the best performance. Our team will work closely with you to understand your specific needs and tailor a solution that meets your requirements and budget.

Fire Strategies

Our fire strategies are put together by our own in-house assessors that have over 30 years of industry experience. A fire strategy is a comprehensive plan that outlines the measures a building or organisation needs to take to reduce the risk of fire and ensure the safety of its occupants. It typically covers the following aspects of fire safety:

Fire prevention − This covers measures designed to minimise the risk of fire occurring in the first place. This includes installing fire alarms and smoke detectors, conducting fire drills, and reducing fire hazards in the building.

Fire protection − This covers measures designed to contain and control a fire. Including installing fire suppression systems, fireproof walls and approved fire doors and sprinkler systems.

Fire response − This covers measures designed to ensure that everyone in the building knows what to do in the event of a fire. This includes conducting fire drills, training employees on fire safety procedures, and having an emergency response plan in place.

Evacuation − This covers measures designed to ensure that occupants can safely evacuate the building in the event of a fire. For example, providing clear evacuation routes, exit signs, and fire alarms.

Fire risk assessment − This covers the process of identifying potential fire hazards in the building and assessing the level of risk.

The fire strategy put together by our assessor will be tailored to the specific needs and operations of the building or organisation. It will take into account factors such as the type of building, the number of occupants, and the fire hazards present. The fire strategy should be reviewed and updated regularly to ensure that it remains effective in protecting the building and its occupants from the risk of fire.
