The Importance of Passive Fire Protection
Facts about Fire
Worldwide, a fire breaks out every
7 seconds.
Annual UK Statistics:
● Cause of 700 deaths
● Business Disruption £1.3bn (£3.4m
a day)
● Annual costs of Arson: £2.4bn
● Government Reports Overall £7bn
Cost to the UK Economy
● Fire makes up 44% of all insurance
claims

The Importance of Passive Fire Protection
Facts about Smoke
● Smoke travels at between 15 and

90 metres per minute
● 67% of fire related deaths are

through smoke inhalation
● 44% of deaths are people who

were not in the room of origin
● 47% of survivors could not see

more than 3.5 metres.

About Fire Safety Law in the UK
• RRO (FSO) Regulatory Reform Order;
Fire Safety Order 2005
• The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005
(Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006)
Summary>Building owner to have full fire risk assessment
The enforcers can visit premises without notice

and ask to see a fire risk assessment and enforce
necessary works, fines and prosecution, if they feel
there is a breach any areas of fire safety.

What type
Breaching of buildings
fire separation doesB)the RRO & F(Scot.)A affect ?
(Appendix
‘To ensure effective protection against fire,
walls and floors providing fire separation must
form a complete barrier, with an equivalent
level of fire resistance provided to any openings
Educational Healthcare Factories & Large Places of
such Premises
as doors, ventilation ducts, pipe passages Warehouses
Premises Assembly
or refuse chutes.
The passing of services such as heating pipes
or electrical cables through fire-resisting
partitions leaves gaps through which fire and
smoke may spread.
Offices & This should be rectified
Residential Care Theatres & Apartments &
by suitable fire stopping and there are many
Shops Premises Cinemas Hotels
proprietary products available to suit particular
types of construction. Such products should

be installed by competent contractors.’

Building Regulations – what happens if the fire
test doesn’t cover the application
● From Appendix ‘A’ 1A a qualified fire
engineer can make a judgement based on
test results:
“or assessed from test evidence against
appropriate standards”
● This judgment cannot be in the form of a

fax or letter from the supplier
● It must include a detailed drawing and/or

description of the application
● There must be a reference to more

onerous testing.
Hilti can provide that engineering judgement
