Guest Joe Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Hi, we have a fire exit that opens from a workshop into a car park using a push bar. Are we allowed to have a drop of less than 6" on the exit before the car park floor? I am looking through the regulations but I can't seem to find anything that mentions a change in surface height for fire exits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sutton Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 With outward opening doors, we used to require a meter of level going before you had to step down, I believe it came from the building regulations. If should study approved document M but not being totally au fait with most of the approved documents I cannot give a location.
