What actions should be taken when improper fire resisting duct mounting is evident?
ANSWER – Ordinarily, contact the installation contractor and confirm that there has been relevant fire testing and competent assessment on the system. If there is no satisfaction then contact the main contractor/employer/CDM Coordinator to raise any concerns. Ultimately contact the local enforcing authority. Approved Document B Appendix G summarises the legal duties on contractors arising under Regulation 16B to ensure that users of building [responsible persons] can make a relevant risk assessment as required under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
