Fire Exit Door Checks in Hampshire: 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.
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.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Hampshire?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Hampshire is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
