Fire safety in healthcare environments is a matter of life and death. Hospitals, clinics, and medical centres must meet exceptionally high safety standards to protect vulnerable patients, staff, and critical infrastructure. At Zyan Fire Protection, we specialise in hospital building fire safety, offering expert passive fire protection solutions that are compliant, robust, and tailored for the unique demands of medical settings.
The Importance of Fire Safety in Hospitals
Hospitals are high-occupancy buildings with patients who may be immobile, sedated, or otherwise unable to evacuate quickly in the event of a fire. In addition, these buildings house critical equipment, oxygen systems, flammable materials, and 24/7 operations—all of which elevate fire risk.
Effective hospital building fire safety is designed to:
Contain fire and smoke at the source
Maintain protected escape routes
Allow for phased or horizontal evacuation strategies
Ensure the continuity of patient care
Comply with HTM (Health Technical Memoranda) and UK fire safety legislation
Failing to implement compliant fire protection can result in legal action, serious harm, or even fatalities. That’s why Zyan Fire Protection partners with NHS trusts, private healthcare providers, and facilities managers to ensure every healthcare environment is fully protected.
Passive Fire Protection for Hospitals
Our approach to hospital building fire safety focuses on passive fire protection—built-in systems that work without manual intervention to control the spread of fire and smoke.
Our services include:
Fire compartmentation: Dividing buildings into fire-resisting zones to contain fires and support safe evacuation
Fire stopping: Sealing around service penetrations (e.g., pipes, cables, ducts) to maintain the fire integrity of walls and floors
Fire-rated doors: Installing hospital-grade fire doors designed for high-traffic areas, with durability and compliance in mind
Cavity barriers and fire curtains: Blocking concealed paths for fire spread in walls and ceilings
Compliance inspections and reporting: Identifying gaps in fire protection and documenting all installed measures
All work is completed with minimal disruption to hospital operations. We understand the importance of maintaining uninterrupted care and patient safety throughout the installation process.
