Incriminating evidence…..

Take care regarding what you post on social media. A quick check of CrossFit gym profiles revealed a number which had photos of obstructed fire exits clearly visible.

Obstructing a fire exit by putting objects in front or propping the door open with an object that then presents a trip hazard or reduces the width of the door is illegal and carries a possible fine of up to £5000.

Fire exits can be open, but make sure you do this in a way that causes no obstructions (e.g. a hook at the back). Social media can be a big risk if you are unsure of how to be compliant and you can be unintentionally incriminating yourself and your business without even knowing, for the whole world to see.
