Abstract
Considers aspects of the requirements of the current building regulations as they relate to fire design and fire safety. Reviews the requirements of Part B in respect of occupancy and travel distances. States that research would suggest that a designer may be required to provide additional escape facilities in one part of the country and not in another and that research would suggest that scope for flexibility is significant.
