Guest Eddie Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 At this final exit, from small place of assembly, there are no steps or ramp. Less than 60 people use premises and rear escape is at end of protected route. It's 80cm from step to the ground. Will building control or fire service insist on steps or ramp? I can't find in guidance where it explicitly states that the exit requires steps or ramp? Anyone encountered this before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 That's a drop over 300mm so the creation of the drop doesn't comply with Building Regulations, would breach the Workplace (Health Safety & Welfare) Regulations and will get the no win no fee compensation lawyers lining up to take the case when someone falls off it! Hardly a safe means of escape either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
