Questions from Kilmarnock clients
Does regulation 10 apply in Kilmarnock?
No. Kilmarnock 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.
Do you cover the area around Kilmarnock?
Yes. As well as Kilmarnock itself we cover nearby towns including Irvine, Ayr and Newton Mearns.
Can a fire exit be locked?
It must be openable from inside without a key at all times the building is occupied. Security locks that need a key from inside are not acceptable on escape routes.
Are fire exit doors fire doors?
Not always. Final exit doors to open air often are not fire-rated, but they must still open easily and be maintained.
