Common questions in Hyde

Do you work in occupied buildings in Hyde?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Hyde 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 Hyde?

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

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.

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.
