“Still so much to be done”
Established in 2000, FSi has grown from strength to strength to become the biggest
manufacturer of passive fire protection in the UK but there’s still so much to be done.
Understanding FSi and
our Systems
47
In the 1980's, fire-related deaths were
higher than 1000 per year but have
come down dramatically over the last 4
decades to under 300 per year. This is
due to several factors such as the
Furniture and Furnishings (Fire safety
regulations 1988), The smoke detectors
act of 1999, The Regulatory Reform
(Fire Safety) Order 2005 along with
massively improved education and fire
warden training plus the decline in
smoking.
However, there’s still so much to do,
not only in new builds, but existing
buildings nationwide such as schools,
colleges, universities, hospitals, care
homes, hotels, and high-rise
accommodation.
These existing buildings require
widescale "de-risking " with all the
challenges that this presents, as some
date back to the 1600's for example,
older universities, often with high
student occupancy.
Even with fire-related deaths in
decline, we’re still faced with £billions in
cost to the economy through loss,
damage, and refurbishment. After the
devastating impact and loss of life with
Grenfell Towers, we need only to look at
the winter of 2018, which saw a huge car
park in Liverpool destroyed, then two
major hotels, a large student
accommodation in Bolton and a
Cheshire care home razed to the ground
in the summer of 2019.
With the professional support of the
FSi team, we can carefully guide PFP
installers to compliancy, meeting
specifications and, proposing the best
solution. •
