Edison56 Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Hello - new to the forum Could anybody tell me what warrants and external fire staircase. We have a bar for around 30 people and have secured planning for the upstairs (one flight) for a bar that will hold 25 people. Access and egress is via the normal stairwell at the moment. Do we I need to build an external fire escape stairwell ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 A number of factors determine if you need a second exit (internal or external) including travel distances, whether the existing stair is a protected route (enclosed in fire resisting construction and fire doors with a final exit at the foot or via a protected corridor) and numbers needing to exit the storey. Numbers wise you are OK as below 60, but the other factors still need to be accounted for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
