Guest ChrisSmi Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 We are exhibition contractors and are installing a small partition wall in a showroom that will contain a door to link the rooms. This will create a small room approx 4.5m x 6m this has double fire doors leading into the warehouse from the showroom. Does the doors we are building need to be a repeat of the other fire doors with a fire exit sign as it will be leading to the fire exit in the next room or can it just be a normal double door with no fire safety features.

Tom Sutton Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I would suggest you complete your work in accordance with Fire Safety Risk Assessment - Offices and Shops and when the Responsible Person has to review his/her fire risk assessment then it should conform.

Safelincs Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Hi Chris Unless there are new risks you are introducing I cannot see the need for an additional fire door. One thing I would be concerned about is if the room behind the new partition has any other escape route and if the alarm system will protect people in that room if a fire breaks out in the newly partitioned section. Is there a fire detector in the room between warehouse and back room? Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
