Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Dumfries and Galloway, the Workplace Regulations 1992 set the basics: doors suitably constructed, swing doors giving a clear view through when closed, and maintenance under regulation 5. Under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, an emergency exit door must open easily in the direction of travel and must not be locked or fastened so it cannot be opened immediately in an emergency.
