In the \u201cOfficial Buildings Regulations\u201d with which all public buildings must comply, there is specific reference made to the usage of Fire Retardancy materials on walls in areas of sensitivity\/ risk such as fire escapes.<\/p>\n

When looking to purchase a notice board for public buildings e.g schools we advise you ask your self the following questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Where will the notice board be placed?<\/li>\n
  2. Does the designated wall form part of a Fire Escape Route?<\/li>\n
  3. Are you planning to use a covered tamperproof notice board?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you answered corridor, stairway or entrance\/exit within a public building to question 1 then fire retardant notice boards area a legal requirement.<\/p>\n

    If you answered Yes to question 2 then fire retardant notice boards are a legal requirement. Please Note:<\/strong> A classroom is deemed as a corridor and as a fire escape route should there be a fire exit going out from the classroom itself.<\/p>\n

    If you are planning to use a covered tamperproof notice board then it is recommended that a top hinged model is used. See BB100 \u2013 Designing and Managing Against the Risk of Fire in Schools.<\/em><\/p>\n

    On April 6th<\/sup> 2008 the new Corporate Manslaughter Act came into force highlighting the importance for senior management to act within current regulations.<\/p>\n
