OFFICE AND SHOP PREMISES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1966 - SECT 35

Employees to be made familiar with means of escape in case of fire.

35.(1) The Ministry may make, as respects premises to which this Act applies,
or any specified class of such premises, regulations as to the means of escape
in case of fire to be provided therein, but nothing in regulations under this
subsection shall be construed as being in derogation of the general obligation
imposed by section 28.

(2) If any premises with respect to which a fire certificate is in force are
not in conformity with regulations under this section applicable to the
premises, the appropriate authority shall serve on the occupier of the
premises notice requiring him to make to the premises, within such period as
may be specified in the notice, such alterations as they consider necessary to
bring the premises into conformity with the regulations, and, when the
alterations are made, they shall amend the certificate or issue a new one.

Sections 30(5) and 31 shall have effect in a case in which a notice is issued
under this subsection with respect to any premises as they have effect in a
case in which a notice is issued under section 30(4) requiring alterations to
be made to premises.
