Emergency devices. Lever or push-pad devices to BS EN 179 for exits used by trained staff.

Outside access. Staff can get in from outside with a key or code, but the exit always opens freely from inside.
Galvanised steel. Leaves made from two zinc-coated steel skins, finished in a hard-wearing powder coat.
Louvres and vision. Ventilation louvres for plant and switch rooms, and glazed panels where people need to see through.

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Richmond, 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 Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
