Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Northamptonshire?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Northamptonshire is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you work in occupied buildings in Northamptonshire?
