Do I need a switch at the top and the bottom of the stairs?

While Approved Document B of the building regulations only states that a Fireman’s Override Switch (FOS) is required at the bottom of the stairs, it is common practice to also install an FOS at the top of the stairwell for test and maintenance purposes.
 

We stock the HE-077 Fireman’s Override Switch, the HE-080 Fireman’s Override Switch and the HE-082 Fireman’s Override Switch in our online shop.
