Fire Exit Door Checks in Falmouth: questions

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?

Panic hardware to BS EN 1125 is normally used where members of the public or people unfamiliar with the building use the exit. Emergency exit devices to BS EN 179 can be suitable where users are trained staff. The fire risk assessment decides.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Falmouth?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Falmouth can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Falmouth?

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