Door rules for workplaces in Wales

Doors in Penarth 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, as it applies in Wales, emergency exit doors must open easily and immediately in the direction of escape.
