5.0. Site storage and handling of material
Information prior to storage on-site:
5.1. Door frames and leaves are manufactured and powder coated according to the color that is approved by the project.
5.2. They are not required to be repainted or require additional coatings or touch-ups at the site unless they are damaged after the delivery of the materials.
5.3. Thus, extreme care has to be taken to preserve the color and evenness of the coating at every stage of the life cycle of the materials.
5.4. The materials are put inside a truck or container in a manner that door leaves are securely wrapped with stretch wraps and then laid out on a pallet.
5.5. The door frames are wrapped in bubble wrap, and then put in order and arranged freely.
5.6. The unloading of the steel doors and frames from the truck may be done either by manually unloading or by using forklifts.
5.7. Make sure that the storage area is set up prior to the arrival of the materials, in order that the material can be moved into the storage space without having to be temporarily stored in exposed areas, as the latter could cause serious damage to the material.
6.0. Site storage and handling of material
During the supply and installation of fire metal frames and doors, ensuring safety measures are in place is paramount. The following safety measures are to be considered:
6.1. Compliance with Regulations: Ensure that all materials, products, and installation procedures comply with relevant building codes, standards, and regulations regarding fire safety.
6.2. Quality Assurance: Source fire metal frames and doors from reputable suppliers who provide products certified for fire resistance and durability.
6.3. Professional Installation: Hire trained and experienced professionals for the installation of fire metal frames and doors. Improper installation can compromise their effectiveness in containing fires.
6.4. Clear Labeling: Ensure clear labeling on fire doors indicating their fire rating, manufacturer details, and any other relevant information. This helps in easy identification and maintenance.
6.5. Fire Door Hardware: Use appropriate fire-rated hardware such as hinges, locks, closers, and handles to maintain the integrity of the fire door assembly.
6.6. Seals and Gaskets: Install fire-resistant seals and gaskets around the door frame to prevent the passage of smoke and flames during a fire.
6.7. Regular Maintenance: Implement a schedule for regular maintenance and inspection of fire doors and frames to ensure they remain in proper working condition. This includes checking for damage, ensuring seals are intact, and verifying hardware functionality.
6.8. Training and Awareness: Provide training to building occupants regarding the proper use and maintenance of fire doors. This includes educating them on the importance of keeping fire doors closed and not propping them open.
6.9. Emergency Procedures: Develop and communicate clear emergency procedures to occupants, including evacuation routes and protocols for using fire doors during emergencies.
6.10. Testing and Certification: Conduct periodic testing and certification of fire doors and frames to ensure they meet the required standards for fire resistance.
6.11. Fire Safety Plan: Incorporate the supply and installation of fire metal frames and doors into the overall fire safety plan for the building. This plan should include evacuation procedures, fire detection and suppression systems, and communication protocols.
6.12. Documentation: Maintain detailed documentation of the supply, installation, inspection, and maintenance of fire doors and frames for regulatory compliance and future reference.
