Free Fire Door Inspection App
We've recently launched the CheckMyFireDoor app, which is designed to help undertake “unskilled” checks of fire doors to give an indication of the fire door conditions. Used on a regular basis, it enables the user to follow the requirements for fire doors, as outlined in the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022.
