There is no such requirement.
There is if you are a green paint salesman.

and all they had to do was to provide refuges for wheelchair users - it was the fire brigades job to move people from the refuge.
I hope you advised them to get that one in writing.
I have come across this one alot - it appears this little gem came from (among other sources) the NEBOSH certs and diplomas a few years ago........... I beleive this has now been rectified!

There are a number of organisations who paint fire walls and fire doors certain colours or paint strips on them in an attempt to stop people damaging them, drilling throught them, etc...

Can't see it working though as a lot of contractors seem to have monochrome tunnel vision anyway!=)
This is my personal opinion and not that of my employer!
