Fire action signage

Post by KathleenP »

We have a number of internal doors and final fire exit doors that are fitted with thumb locks which may need to be operated in the event of a fire evacuation. Is it mandatory to have a thumb screw direction image on them?

Hi

It's mandatory to do what is necessary to ensure safety.

More details are required to answer this.

What's the building, is it jut employees that can be trained, or are there visitors/public involved?
Are the doors only secured with a single Thumb Turn or is there any other securing/latching device?
Is there one or more devices to any individual door?
