Passive fire protection (PFP)

As an employer, Passive Fire Protection, also known as ‘fire stopping’, is your legal responsibility. Compliance with Passive Fire Protection means your building can contain a fire long enough for people to escape. Your workplace has to be divided into manageable areas of risk (‘compartmentation’) with compliant fire-rated door systems and partitions in place.

Employers, landlords and responsible persons generally fail in their duty of care through:

  1. Holes being drilled in a wall (e.g. upgrading your IT) and breaching any existing fire stopping measures.
  2. Non-compliant and poorly-installed fire door systems.

Fire stopping is your legal duty in order to help save lives but never assume you’re compliant. Our fire risk assessment can tell you for sure, then we can carry out any necessary work.
