Access and Security for BC Premises’ Boiler or Plant Rooms:

• Access to all boiler/plant rooms should be restricted to site maintenance staff and servicing engineers.
• Boiler/plant rooms must be locked/secured at all times to prevent unauthorised access.
• All access doors to boiler/plant rooms should be fitted with notices clearly indicating the purpose of the rooms, the restricted access to authorised persons only and no smoking/vaping signs displayed
• A spare key to the boiler/plant room entry door must be given to the premises’ responsible person for use in case of emergencies.
• Do not obstruct access to boiler/plant rooms – emergency situations are likely to require immediate access to mains switches, gas isolation valves etc.
• All boiler/plant rooms should be adequately lit for their purpose.
• Any steep steps within or into a boiler/plant room should be fitted with appropriate handrails.

All air vents to boiler/plant rooms should always be kept open, clean and free from any obstruction.
