fire door registers

[Guest jason]

hi. I am wanting to find out what the legal requirement's for a commercial retail company are to hold a fire door register? Is this a specific document?

I do lots of work for a major brand retailer and trying to help them start  a fire door register

many thanks

It's not explicitly required, but having one could be viewed as required to form part of the record of fire safety arrangements that is required by law. It also helps with planned maintenance so that only doors required to be fire doors are inspected and maintained (which as this can be quite expensive can save a lot of money!)

If you have a formal inspection of your fire doors conducted by a competent person, the report you are provided with should have a register included. You can then work from that going forward. That is a good starting point, get your doors formally inspected, get your report and you have your register to go forward with.
