Fireco offers a range of products and services to help you comply with fire safety regulations and standards. The latest of which is the DorTrak software
Fire doors are essential components in any building’s fire safety strategy, serving to prevent the spread of smoke and fire and providing occupants time to evacuate safely. However, they can only perform this crucial role if they are correctly installed, maintained, and compliant with current standards. Fire doors must be inspected and maintained regularly by a certified professional, as suggested by the British Woodworking Federation, who recommend biannual inspections to ensure ongoing compliance and reliability.
Fireco offers a comprehensive fire door inspection service that is third-party accredited, ensuring every detail is assessed. This inspection process not only checks every element of the doorset but also provides a digital record of the findings. The thoroughness of Fireco’s inspections, coupled with their commitment to compliance, provides building owners and managers with peace of mind that their fire doors are effective and meet regulatory standards.
What’s Included in a Fireco Fire Door Inspection?
A Fireco fire door inspection involves an in-depth assessment of each specified doorset. Fireco’s qualified engineers or inspection partners, all of whom have third-party accreditations, conduct a complete inspection covering the door’s frame, hinges, closing mechanisms, gaps, and seals to ensure they are in optimal condition. This systematic approach helps identify potential issues that could compromise the door’s performance in a fire event.
Comprehensive Reporting with DorTrak
After the inspection, clients receive a full report, generated using Fireco’s proprietary software, DorTrak. This tool offers a granular view of each inspected doorset, allowing building managers to zoom into details of specific doors or review an overview of all inspected doors at once. The DorTrak report format is intuitive, easy-to-read, and provides clear summaries of compliance levels and any areas requiring action. If a doorset needs repair or replacement, DorTrak facilitates the process by summarising the required work and enabling users to print or export reports to share with contractors or compliance teams.
DorTrak also creates a live, digital record of the inspection, aligning with the Golden Thread principle in fire safety – a continuous record of safety measures within a building. This feature enhances traceability and simplifies compliance with Regulation 38.
What Makes Fireco’s Service Unique?
Fireco’s approach to fire door inspection is distinct in its commitment to digitalisation and user-centric design. With DorTrak, Fireco ensures that critical data, such as door certifications and ratings, are clearly documented. The app organises data into a format that’s comprehensive and practical for building managers, inspectors, and third-party contractors, eliminating the need to interpret overly complex reports.
Fireco developed DorTrak in consultation with industry professionals, resulting in a system that simplifies tracking and managing fire door compliance. The app also allows RFID tagging of doors, creating a precise map of door locations within a building and making compliance tracking easier over time.
