Just finishing an install of some cable tray which has been installed inverted on a ceiling.

Q1 is it ok (is it up to regs) to install tray upside down?

Q2 assuming it is, latest regs advise for fire safety all cables across walkways etc need to be securely fastened to the tray so none of the cables can come down to allow safe exit from the building and entry for fire fighters. As all my cables are tied on with plastic cable ties this doesn't seem up to itch or scratch. Is there a manufacturer that produces metal bands I can put around the whole tray every couple of meters or so? I have found online some fire protection wrap for oil and chemical industries etc but this seems overkill for my purpose!

Cheers all

or lid the tray. as it's upside down, you'll need to use some fixings.
