  1. Risks and Benefits of fire door replacements

    LookingForCommonSense posted a topic in Landlords
    Around 75% of fire doors fail the FDIS inspections. A new BMTrada Q mark certification door set installation has been quoted as costing £2600 plus VAT. There are around 30 fatalities per annum in flats/ maisonettes where fire is the primary cause (Are there any statistics as to how many of these were due to fire doors being below standard?) There are around 3 million flats. Assuming 75% of those flats failed FDIS inspections and were fitted with new fire doors the cost would be around £7 billion. The UK Health and Safety Executive states the cost to society of a fatal injury as being £1.8M. On that basis an investment of 7 billion would need to save over 3500 lives to be justified. The numbers don't seem to add up. How is this explained in the context of a risk assessment?
