Compliance with fire safety regulations, including passive fire protection (PFP), is a legal requirement for commercial building owners, managers, letting companies, and any “responsible person” the legislation views as having control of the building.
Business and office space is changing, driven both by the pandemic and by the wider squeeze on businesses’ finances. Much commercial office space that previously housed only one business is being converted to accommodate others.
Passive fire protection (PFP) is at the heart of a building’s defences against the spread of fire, toxic gases, and smoke – and because it’s built into the fabric of the building in the form of fire-resistant walls, ceilings, doors, and other fittings, it doesn’t need switching on or off, and is ready for action 24/7.
