Questions from Mansfield clients

Which fire safety law applies in Mansfield?

Mansfield is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

Is it legal to wedge a fire door open?

Wedging a fire door open defeats it, because it cannot close in a fire, and it can breach fire safety law. If a door needs to stay open, use a device that releases it automatically when the alarm activates.

With the weekly fire alarm test, and checked in detail at each fire door inspection.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Mansfield?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Mansfield can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
