Posted By Mark Bywater My learned colleagues, I have searched the British Standards and looked carefully through "Fire - An Employers' Guide" but have failed to find any reference to steps at fire exits...but I'm sure something must exist somewhere. My problem is that we are fitting a new internal fire escape door to a room that had previously only one means of escape. On removing the concrete plinth that the current wall was sat on we find that we have a 2 inch difference in height between the floors either side of the new door. My view is that if we nose it sufficiently with a stainless angle bar which is set into the floor so as not to provide a tripping hazard and display a notice on the door saying "Beware of step" then that should be fine. I am open to other suggestions but we have almost certainly discounted forming a small ramp or slope, and a metre wide plinth on the far side of the door will provide problems for staff on the other side of the door. Any suggestions please? Kind regards, Mark
