DDA Regs - Fire Beacons

This is the problem with open ended legislation like the DDA. Some people, worried about compliance, will do far too much. Everybody else gets away with doing nothing.

I think this is the problem generally with most of the regulation that's put out now, having moved away from prescriptive towards risk assessment, it's all open to interpretation, and doesn't get sorted until you got to court. Then, by default you end up back with a prescriptive measure as everyone then does the minimum the judge advocates!!
