Royton FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Royton?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in Royton?

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

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.

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.
