In the UK, a fire door survey is essential for various entities to ensure compliance with fire safety regulations and to protect occupants. Here are the key groups who should have a fire door survey:
1. **Employers**: Businesses with employees must ensure that fire doors are properly installed, maintained, and compliant with safety standards.
2. **Landlords**: Owners of residential properties, especially those with multiple tenants (HMOs), should conduct surveys to ensure fire doors meet safety requirements.
3. **Property Management Companies**: Those managing commercial or residential buildings need to assess fire doors to maintain safety standards for all occupants.
4. **Educational Institutions**: Schools, colleges, and universities must ensure that fire doors are correctly installed and maintained for the safety of students and staff.
5. **Healthcare Facilities**: Hospitals, care homes, and clinics must conduct fire door surveys to protect vulnerable patients and staff.
6. **Public Buildings**: Libraries, community centers, and government offices should ensure their fire doors are functional and effective in fire prevention.
7. **Retail and Hospitality Venues**: Shops, restaurants, and hotels must regularly assess their fire doors to ensure guest and employee safety.
8. **Construction Projects**: New builds and renovations should include fire door surveys to ensure compliance with fire safety regulations during and after construction.
Overall, any organisation or property owner responsible for buildings where people work, live, or gather should conduct regular fire door surveys to ensure safety and compliance with legal obligations.
