Safelincs Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 It is certainly dangerous behaviour; to start with you should explain the importance of the fire exit and give the person a written instruction. With regards to disciplinary progression you need to speak with employment lawyers. Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Check with your employment lawyer, I'd be surprised if it wasn't, especially as the action could be considered a breach of Health & Safety and Fire Regulations, which are criminal offences.
