Means of Escape
New buildings and those being altered or extended are designed and built in accordance with the latest standards of escape in case of fire. These standards are recommended in the Building Regulations and British Standard Codes of Practice.
Building Control works closely with West Yorkshire Fire Service who have responsibility for enforcing the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in most buildings other than private dwelling house.
For further information ring any of our Building Control Offices or the WYFS (West Yorkshire Fire Service).
