Rank: Forum user		Another question guys, How often should a metal stair case used as an escape route be inspected and should the inspection be carried out by a "professional" or is it sufficient for an internal staff member to check and document findings? Thanks Russ

Rank: Forum user		Thanks SBH. Can I ask is the 6 months rule mandatory or is it more of a discretional thing?
