Risk Assessment Description:

This fire door inspection safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps responsible persons, facilities managers and competent inspectors confirm fire doors are in good order in any premises across all industries.

It covers the fire risk assessment link, door leaf and frame condition, gaps and seals, intumescent strips, hinges and self-closers, signage, glazing, and that doors are not wedged or obstructed. It references the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Use this checklist for:

  • Routine fire door checks — confirm each fire door closes fully and holds its rating
  • Building inspections — spot-check doors, seals, closers and signage
  • Compliance records — evidence regular inspection for the fire risk assessment

Work through each question and answer Yes, No or N/A. Any No answer flags an action to resolve, so you can record findings, assign follow-up and keep a clear audit trail for audits and inspections. The template is straightforward enough for any manager, supervisor or safety representative to complete without specialist training, and it gives a consistent, repeatable record every time it is used. Completing it regularly helps demonstrate active monitoring and continual improvement of your health and safety arrangements.

Fully editable and shareable — customise the questions to your site, download as a PDF and share with your team. Save your completed checklist and return to edit it anytime.

Compliant with: Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
