Fire Door Signage in Derbyshire: questions

Do signs go on both sides of the door?

Self-closing fire doors are generally signed on both faces. Cupboard and riser doors are usually signed on the outside only.

Is a missing sign a serious defect?

It will normally be recorded as a fail or advisory. It is quick and cheap to fix, so it is best done on the same visit.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Derbyshire?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Derbyshire is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

Do you cover the area around Derbyshire?

Yes. As well as Derbyshire itself we cover nearby towns including Derby, Chesterfield and High Peak.
