FIRE DAMPER CHECKING

Business Owners Responsibilities

" regular maintenance (including, as necessary, inspection, testing, adjustment, lubrication and cleaning) is carried out at suitable intervals". - Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations 1992, ACOP L24 para 22(a)

Fire dampers within ducted ventilation systems are occasionally found to be inoperable due to
several reasons:

  • Accumulation of dirt/grease
  • Incompetent/negligent installationTimber would prevent Fire Damper from closing.
  • Poor or non existent maintenance
  • Poor design

Failure to operate could lead to a rapid spread of fire and smoke, closure of business premises and even injury/loss of life. Insurance claims may also be invalidated.

HML offer an annual inspection service in which all dampers are inspected and tested at random, with findings and recommendations recorded in an Annual Report.
