COMPLIANCE & RISK ASSESSMENT
failed or were missing entirely, exacerbating the fire’s spread and obstructing escape routes. This tragic mistake cost lives.
If a golden thread had been available, these flaws could have been identified and corrected, enabling the fire doors to perform their critical safety function. The golden thread isn’t another legal hoop for the industry to jump through: it is a fundamental change to ensure sectors work together and buildings are safe.
IMPLEMENTING THE GOLDEN THREAD Technological advances have made it easier to maintain the golden thread. However, these alone are not enough. There is a lack of workers trained to understand the entire lifecycle of safety products like fire doors.
Fire Door Maintenance, part of UAP, is the UK’s first practical fire door training centre, covering everything from regulation compliance, how and why components were chosen in product engineering, and how products are installed for the end user. This, and FDM’s advocation for a central register of qualified industry operatives, is done with the aim of establishing a golden thread of best practice across the industry.
By fostering deeper understanding and ensuring seamless collaboration across the construction process, we can uphold the golden thread. This commitment is not just about legal compliance— it safeguards lives and ensures that tragedies like Grenfell never happen again.
