Thak you Hardhat, very useful.

You are correct, sorry, not enough info. Its basically a large room, I'll stick to my guns, no sign needed.

Dear all Wonder if you could help? Small issue really. I work at a college. We have a new learning resources centre. There is a second floor which has one way in and out. Does it need an exit sign? I am loathe to put one up as generally i focus on real risks based on common sense approach. Knowing t...

Thank you for the link.

The link I posted should take you to the exact moment the architect says, "What is illegal..."

If not, it is 14 minutes and 11 seconds in.

Thanks again.

Afternoon everyone,

Just looking at my fire alarm system download and one of the devices is a TOHS, another is TH.

Many thanks

Appreciate there is a greater moral obligation...

Morning all

Can a real fire evacuation be taken as a "fire drill"?

We were due to carry one out in this area and someone burnt the toast so there was an evac, we swept and debriefed the staff - but can this be taken as a fire drill or do we have to carry out a planned one?

Thanks

Mark
