Hospitals are the institutions mostly where bedside and outpatient treatment are seen, and perhaps hospitals are the environments in which human entry and exit are most experienced within 24 hours. Based on inpatients, hospitals accomodate a lot of people who can not move by them selves during a fire.
In this way, the use of wooden fire doors in public buildings is increasingly important. In these buildings where the density of people is high, patient room doors, fire ad emergency exit doors must be fire resistant, because during a possible fire, these doors will protect the lives by preventing flames and fumes that can be leaked in to patient areas.
While fire safety is being evaluated in hospitals, rest homes and nursing homes; the most important difference of these buildings is the limitation of movement of the patients that fire hazard will be exposed. In addition, the ages, the physical and mental abilities of the patients are the problems that should be assessed in these situations.
Therefore, with the new regulations, in order to make hospitals safe against fire, the use of fire-resistant materials has become a necessity to incancerate the fire and smoke-proof doors and hatchways.
Healthcare buildings, are places for people who are in need of treatment due to a mental or physical illness, for people in retirement and also for the use of needy elderly people.They include all buildings and departments in buildings in which minimum 4 and more person can be admitted.
These include care homes, birth homes, hospitals, nursing homes, health centers, health centers, and nurseries.
