fire escape from basements

I'm planning to convert a basement into a bedroom/additional living space. I know I need to provide a second exit for fire escape (no suitable windows or doors). Can this be by means of a fixed ladder or does it need to be a full blown staircase to comply with building regs?

Thanks, Dave

See our projects on basement conversions and Building Regulations. All the info is in there.
