Behind Closed Doors Virtual Lecture Series: Managing fire door safety in purpose built flats 

Everyone has the right to a safe home. But many of the UK's most vulnerable residents are still living in purpose-built flats with poor levels of fire door safety and potentially hazardous evacuation routes.

It's time to learn more. Join Hannah Mansell - Group Technical Director of Masonite UK, qualified expert witness and former spokesperson for Fire Door Safety Week - at our free-to-attend breakfast briefing.

Hannah is former chair of the Passive Fire Protection Forum, former spokesperson for the Fire Door Safety Week national safety campaign, former Trustee of the Children’s Burns Trust and winner of the ASFP ‘Advocate for Passive Fire Protection’ award 2018. She is a member of British Standard Institute committees FSH/022/0-/05 Fire resistance tests for doors and FSB/001 Fire Safety & Built Environment Task Group.

Featuring case study examples, the briefing will illustrate the current and future considerations when retrofitting fire door safety works in purpose-built flats. Hannah will also cover primary test evidence and third-party certification, dual certification, compatible components, planning retrofit fire door safety works and maintaining the golden thread of product information.

This is important information for all stakeholders - from building owners, fire safety managers, asset managers and architects to fire engineers, facilities managers, clerks of works, contractors and the emergency services.

Let's cut through the complexity around fire door safety to improve building safety now.
