Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Portishead workplaces are covered by regulation 18 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992: a door that can be pushed open from either side must give, when closed, a clear view of the space close to both sides, which is why swing doors on traffic routes have vision panels. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, emergency exit doors must open easily and immediately in the direction of escape.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Somerset the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Your questions about steel personnel and fire exit doors

Can a steel door at our Portishead unit be security rated?

Yes. Where an insurer asks for a formal rating, we supply steel doorsets certified to LPS 1175 and install them to the certified specification. Let us know the rating required so we can quote the right product.

Do you repair fire exit doors across Somerset?

Yes. We repair and replace panic bars, emergency devices, closers, hinges and locks on steel doors across Somerset. Repair visits are chargeable, and on fire-rated doors we only fit hardware covered by the door's test evidence.

Which fire exit hardware do we need at our Portishead site?

If members of the public or people unfamiliar with the exit may use it, panic hardware to BS EN 1125 is normally required. Exits used only by trained staff who know the door can use emergency devices to BS EN 179. If in doubt, choose BS EN 1125.
