As a respected designer and manufacturer of a wide range of products for fire and smoke containment, Lorient is proud to be a dedicated supporter of Fire Door Safety Week (FDSW).
The campaign was launched in 2013 in response to a legacy of fire door neglect, and we have been supporting it since the beginning.
Fire Door Awareness
The campaign is managed by the BWF and is supported by a number of partners
FDSW is a ‘mass market’ awareness campaign to increase public understanding of the vital role that fire doors play in protecting life and property.
The campaign is managed by the British Woodworking Federation and is supported by a number of partners, including the Home Office’s National Fire Safety campaign, the National Fire Chief’s Council and London Fire Brigade.
FDSW Campaign Objectives
- To raise awareness of the critical role of fire doors, drawing attention to specific issues such as poor installation and maintenance.
- To encourage building owners and users to check the operation and condition of their fire doors and to report those that aren’t satisfactory.
- To link together the initiatives of many organisations with common interests in the fire door and passive fire protection industries.
- To engage and educate people, helping the whole building industry and every property owner to understand the correct specification, supply, installation, operation, inspection and maintenance.
