Hospital Clear Exit Widths

[Andy62]

Is anyone aware of CEW specifications within the HTMs. The only specific reference to CEWs I can find is in Health Building Note 00-04: ‘Circulation and communication spaces’ - HTM 05-02 does not specify CEWs in detail but directs you to this document.

My question is, does Health Building Note 00-04 only apply to circulation and communication spaces or does it apply throughout a hospital i.e. to wards and operating theatres where bed and/or trolley evacuation is required?

If dealing with existing healthcare premises the MHCLG Healthcare Premises FRA guide goes into a lot more detail and is probably worth a look.
