December 5, 20178 yr comment_11165 A question asked in a FRA template was " where an escape route is a "dead end " are all doors fire resistant and self closing " ? escape route that is a dead end ? surely its not an escape route if its a dead end ?? Report
December 6, 20178 yr comment_11168 Why not, it is a single direction MoE and all the doors should be FR s/c to enable you to pass the rooms to get to a final exit door. Report
December 6, 20178 yr comment_11170 its possibly me but its surely not a "dead end " if it has an final exit door ?? a dead end is a path that leads nowhere not a path that leads to a door that leads to an open space ? I understand the point of FD leading onto an exit route but its the dead end bit ? Report
December 7, 20178 yr comment_11174 How does a person get from outside to a room in the dead end, if the dead end leads nowhere. Check out Approved Document B (fire Safety) volume 2: Premises other than Dwelling Houses page 39 diagram 17 show what a dead end is. Report
December 7, 20178 yr comment_11176 A dead end is simply a corridor (or similar) where you can only go in one direction, if you go down the other end you end up against a brick wall. Either it is protected by fire doors and walls to the rooms off it or the whole area is protected by automatic fire detection Report
