SEE The Firedoor

Did you know that there’s a very high chance you walk through at least one fire door every day? Yet, we often don’t realize this. At first glance, a fire door looks just like any other door. But its function during a fire is vastly different. And the saying “Unknown is unloved.” certainly applies here. In the business world, fire doors are often the forgotten heroes. They are crucial in preventing the spread of fire, but once users have installed them perfectly, they are often neglected or left in an unusable state. A disassembled door pump, a wooden wedge, or THE classic method: jamming the fire door open with a fire extinguisher. These actions compromise the entire compartmentalization.

 

That’s why we want to help you notice the fire doors by using a sticker, which includes a QR code. Through this QR-code you can not only quickly report problems (additional information can be found here) that will go directly to the authorised person. It will also provide access to essential information about fire doors on our wiki page. We inform everyone through short animated videos. What are they and what do they do, these fire doors? It’s almost magical. Just like how Gandalf stops the fiery monster with the famous words “You shall not pass!”, fire doors protect us just as much. If not more!

By taking (online) courses that we will offer in the future, you’ll better understand the purpose of fire doors. And once you can recognize a fire door, you’ll start noticing how many there actually are.

The next steps that will be taken together to get all fire doors back in order is through CHECK and FIX The Firedoor.
