Morning all, We have an external metal staircase leading from our upstairs office. Site is low risk with only an office and storage warehouse of metal, non-combustible items. The staircase was installed aprox. 3 years ago, I've been told it now needs a thorough inspection. Does anyone know of a nationwide / local to Richmond in Yorkshire company that carries out this work? or can we do this internally? i.e. check for rust / corrosion, check fixings, give a good clean, check treads etc????? Thanks in advance

The building is more than 3 years old, the staircase was only installed aprox 3 years ago so is coming up to inspection. I may be missing something but the linked document does not cover the inspection of the external fire escape????

This may be one of those nice-to haves rather than a legal requirement.
Have you carried out a general risk assessment for the building in the last year perhaps? Is the staircase(s) open to the weather and more prone to slip incident?
Are there leaves on the stairs that can cause a slip incident?
Lighting and emergency lights? You may need to research a bit further on this issue.
