Service shaft in blocks of flats

(1/2) > >>

leebrown:
I recently came across a open service shaft in a 3 storey block of flats, fire doors were at each level but I would have thought this would also require fire stopping at each floor level?

Dinnertime Dave:
It's fine - Look at para 8.33 and diagram 8.3 of Approved Document B (new version)

Revol:
I've come across this a few time with fire risk assessors stating that the riser must be stopped at each floor level. It is either a protected shaft (riser) or it has floors and becomes a service cupboard.

It gets better Jon, I know a Fire Safety Officer who tried to enforce it.
