The benefit of protecting stairways from the
effects of fire allows you to measure your
travel distance from the farthest point on the
relevant floor to the nearest storey exit rather
than the final exit of the building.
If you do not have a protected stairway,
depending on the outcome of your fire risk
assessment, it may be that you can achieve
an equivalent level of safety by other means.
However, before doing so you should seek
advice from a competent person.
If the building you occupy has floors which are
occupied by organisations other than your
own, you need to consider, as part of your fire
risk assessment, the possibility that a fire may
occur in another part of the building over which
you may have no control and which may affect
the protected stairway if allowed to develop
unchecked. If your fire risk assessment shows
that this may be the case and people using any
floor would be unaware of a developing fire,
then additional fire-protection measures may
be required, e.g. an automatic fire-detection
and warning system. If this is required you
will need to consult and co-operate with other
occupiers and building managers.
