Inspection and Testing of Fire Stopping Services
Fire safety is a critical aspect of building management, and effective fire stopping plays a vital role in containing the spread of fire and smoke within a structure. At Atlantic HSE Ltd, we specialize in comprehensive Inspection and Testing of Fire Stopping, ensuring your fire protection systems meet the highest safety standards and comply with regulatory requirements.
What Is Fire Stopping?
Fire stopping involves using fire-resistant materials to seal openings and joints in walls, floors, and ceilings. These barriers prevent the passage of fire, smoke, and toxic gases, maintaining the building’s structural integrity and giving occupants crucial time to evacuate safely. Regular inspection and testing are essential to ensure these systems function effectively.
