• Where an employer or a service provider does not make provision for the safe evacuation of disabled people from its premises, this may be viewed as discrimination. It may also constitute a failure to comply with the requirements of the fire safety legislation mentioned above.
• Requiring that employers or organisations providing services to the public, take responsibility for ensuring that all people, including disabled people, can leave the building they control safely in the event of a fire.
