fire engineers and passive fire protection
Fire safety engineers have a pivotal role to play in ensuring a building is safeguarded effectively against the threat of a fire. It is their task to analyse the potential risks, and to design and implement protective fire safety systems. They have to ensure the passive fire protection equipment used within a building will prevent the rapid spreading of a fire and protect the people inside.
A professional fire safety engineer will:
- Design buildings with fire safety in mind
- Design equipment used to prevent fire from spreading
- Inspect older buildings and structures for potential hazards
- Make recommendations for passive fire safety systems
- Keep up to date with new fire regulations and laws, including Approved Document B
- Inspect current passive protection a building already has in place
When it comes to passive fire protection of a building, fire engineers will analyse relevant documentation, and thoroughly inspect current systems in place, ensuring they will be effective in the event of a fire. It is a demanding and important role, and any mistakes can lead to a building not being as secure as it should be.
This is why at EA-RS Passive Fire Protection our qualified engineers are always willing and able to work alongside other fire safety engineers when it comes to the passive fire protection of a building. This collaboration means no stone will be left unturned, including the use of fire-resistant construction materials and the installation of fire-rated doors.
