MEANS OF EGRESS

.

Introduction

In this introduction we have reviewed some of the hazards and other factors that dictate the importance of a regulatory compliant means of egress.

The requirements in this module are general and, therefore, do not deal specifically with specialized facilities or out of the ordinary uses of the facilities. One major paragraph of Subpart E has been "reserved" for future standards which deal with specific occupancies, the hazards particularly associated with them, and the provisions for necessary means of egress.

Keep in mind that your primary concern should be applying means of egress information for the protection of employees, not the preservation of facilities.
