Some advice please. I have a set of patio doors in a ground floor bedroom with a lip, that a support worker with a wheelchair user struggled to get over in a recent evacuation drill. Can i have a small removable rubber or metal ramp that is put down in the event of an emergency? Does it have to be fixed at all times? The bedroom is pretty small,  the tenant has 24/7 care.

A fixed ramp would be preferred but if it is impossible or impractical the a temporary system could be acceptable but check it out with your fire risk assessor or Fire and Rescue Service, fire prevention department.

Thank you, we have gone with a fixed ramp.
