Fire Door Signage in Glasgow: questions
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.
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.
Does regulation 10 apply in Glasgow?
No. Glasgow is in Scotland, which has its own fire safety law. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 cover workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises; common parts of private blocks of flats are largely outside them.
