We're just in the midst of re-organising our offices, and I'm trying to avoid falling foul of fire safety regulations.

I have looked online, but can't seem to find any information about how much space there should be around chairs / desks etc.

We are looking at a row of chairs and desks that will back into a corner, something like this.

The 'seating' circle denotes a standard basic office chair, and a diameter of 990cm has been applied.

Does anybody know a) if this is ok or b) where I can find some info online regarding regulations for space?

TIA.
