Fire Door Safety Week
Fire doors help prevent the spread of flames and smoke up to 30 or 60 minutes in the event of a fire. They provide vital protection to anyone inside a building, giving them time to either get to safety or be rescued. External Fire Doors provide a safe passageway to escape in case of a fire or emergency. Fire doors help to save lives and prevent injury in a fire. In effective fire doors pose a risk to fire safety.

Recycling Week 2021
In 2021, Recycle Week will run from 20th to 26th September. The theme for this year is 'Step It Up this Recycle Week'. This theme has been chosen to rally a movement in combating the Climate Crisis. During a difficult COVID-19 pandemic where we haven’t had much control on day-to-day events, recycling is something we can have control over. The urge is for everybody to step it up this Recycle Week and join the fight against climate change!
