Explore how FireArrest is transforming passive fire protection with its digital tools. Learn how this ISO-accredited solution ensures compliance with the latest regulations and provides accurate documentation, enhancing safety for occupants and minimising property damage
The passive fire protection industry is a sector that focuses on implementing measures to slow down or contain the spread of fire within a building or structure.
Unlike active fire protection, which involves systems like fire sprinklers and fire extinguishers, passive fire protection relies on the use of materials and structural design to inhibit the spread of fire and smoke.
Passive fire protection systems work by using fire-resistant materials to insulate walls, floors, ceilings and cavity barriers.
What is the goal of passive fire protection?
The goal of passive fire protection is to provide a safe environment for occupants, limit property damage, and allow for the safe evacuation of individuals in the event of a fire.
Building codes and regulations often prescribe specific requirements for passive fire protection to ensure that structures meet certain safety standards.
The passive fire protection industry encompasses a range of professionals, including architects, engineers, contractors, and manufacturers of fire-resistant materials and products or anyone that is responsible for a building.
