Why now is the perfect time to reassess your passive fire protection
As we approach the end of Q1, businesses across the UK are preparing for the new financial year - setting budgets, reviewing safety policies, and planning ahead. But one critical area that should never be overlooked is passive fire protection.
With compliance requirements tightening and fire safety risks ever-present, now is the perfect time to inspect, upgrade, and maintain your building’s fire protection measures. At Helix FMS, we’re working with organisations across the country to ensure their properties remain safe, compliant, and protected.
Why act now?
Many businesses only think about fire safety when an inspection is due or after an issue arises. But proactive maintenance ensures that your building’s fire protection measures are always up to standard, before a small problem becomes a serious risk.
Stay ahead of compliance checks: Avoid last-minute remediation work and potential penalties by ensuring your fire doors, fire stopping, and structural coatings are up to standard.
Address winter wear and tear: Cold and wet weather can take a toll on buildings, leading to damaged seals, shifting fire doors, or compromised fire-stopping barriers. Now is the time to inspect and fix these issues before they escalate.
Protect people, property, and business continuity: A fire incident can be devastating, not just in terms of damage but also in lost revenue, legal implications, and reputational harm. Investing in passive fire protection now ensures that your business is prepared before an emergency occurs.
