Fire Exit Door Checks in Stourbridge: questions

Do you cover the area around Stourbridge?

Yes. As well as Stourbridge itself we cover nearby towns including Brierley Hill, Kingswinford and Dudley.

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Stourbridge?

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