Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Saint Neots?

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

How often should fire exits be checked?

Many responsible persons check them weekly as part of the fire log, with a detailed check at least annually.

Do fire exit doors need panic bars?
