Re: Maxmium occupancy of a public space
Have a look at table D1 in Approved Document B (ADB). The link is in my last post It provides a list of uses of premises and a floor space factor measured in m2 per person. Example 4 states conference room, dining room, staff room, waiting room is 1m2 per person. Perhaps this is the nearest descript...

Re: Maxmium occupancy of a public space
Its a calculation based on the use of the building, the floor sizes in M2 and the size (in mm), position and number of escape routes There's no point in me saying any more as many fire authorities provide excellent guidance such as Kent F&R https://www.kent.fire-uk.org/sites/default/files/OCCUPA...

Re: Saturday - 06 April 2024
The usual UK chaotic weather due here
22c in the SE and 70mph storm in NI, Scotland and NW England
Already 21c in West London. Commiserations to those wearing raincoats when it's so warm
The garden is shouting at me to tidy up the winter growth...... but maybe just one more cuppa first

Re: Friday - 22 March 2024
Sadly it's a bit grim down London way I am taking it easy as I have an eye infection (must get this done before Mrs Messy sees me on my phone) I woke up 3.30 in pain and couldn't open my left eye. There was nothing I could do so sneaked out leaving my wife sleeping and took a cab to my local A&E...

Re: Changing the use of a fire door
I get the feeling Messy not a builder or ever looked at this issue in practical terms. Callum got a budget and needs to stick to it. its far cheaper to re hang the door so it opens inwards and fit a new lock, than start fitting new push bar. He can keep the fire exit sign. At the end of the day, it...

Re: Changing the use of a fire door
Of course we don't know the use or size of the building referred to in the OP's question, but there's no need to go straight to electronically locked final exit doors Simple standard door furniture with thumbturn or lever handle inside and a coded lock externally (possibly mechanical) may suffice fo...

Re: Changing the use of a fire door
I think we need to be careful with the description of this door. A fire door is one constructed from fire resistant materials and is installed as part of the fire separation in a building I believe the door you refer to is a fire exit door. They do not usually need to be fire resisting. Only where t...

Re: New In Post - FRA
Apologies Goldy, but its difficult to give even a guesstimate price for this work without much more info Did your fire safety consultant give you a standard to which the fire barrier should meet, even a time? (30 mins/60 mins)? My advice is to seek some additional quotes and compare them. Don't forg...

Re: When does your health and safety go out the window?
Home DIY sometimes does stray across the acceptability threshold I am embarrassed to admit. My ladder to my flat roof on my extension isnt quite long enough which leads to the dangling the legs over the edge trying to find the head of the ladder trick :oops: And dont look at my doors in my house ove...

Re: Trial findings of Gross Negligence for migrant deaths
Whilst I accept some of your points, I think cuts to immigration process workers leading to huge delays in asylum claims and a queue of 170,000 asylum seekers waiting 83 weeks for a yes/no is also a big factor There's effectively no 'safe route' for migrants now, which is why they risk the boats Its...
