In case of an emergency, an exit strategy is an important thing to have and regularly maintain. In case of an emergency, such as a fire or intruder, it is important to know where the exit doors are located for a quick escape.
Are you prepared in case of an emergency in your place of business? Take a look at some of these requirements that must be met for a safe exit in case a situation arises:
Exits must not be blocked by any obstacles.
Exits must not be locked.
Exits must be a permanent route.
Usually two exits are required. However depending on the size of the staff and building, one may be sufficient.
Ceilings must be at least 7 feet, 6 inches.
Exits must be at least 28 inches wide.
Legible exit signs must be installed to distinguish where emergency exits are located.
