The physical security product manufacturer Abloy UK has created a white paper on the importance of complying with standards and regulations for escape doors and recommends solutions to ensure compliance.
All stages of developing any building need to conform to the required standards, from the architect to the installer, they all need to take responsibility for ensuring the correct compliant elements that are in place, the firm says. There is an average of 162 building fires in Great Britain every day , with more than 9,100 fatalities or casualties from those fires, which works out at around 25 a day . So fitting the correct system can mean the difference between life and death for the occupants of a building.
In this paper Abloy explores why it’s vital that each party – whether an architect, specifier, facilities manager or installer – takes responsibility for ensuring the correct compliant standards are met to guarantee safe egress for the occupants of the building in the event of an emergency.
