Means of Egress Components - Maintenance and Workmanship |
||||||
|
One of the most frequently cited violations in Subpart E is the requirement
that means of egress be continuously maintained free of all obstructions or impediments to
full instant use in the case of fire or other emergencies. No furnishings or decorations shall be permitted which obscure or obstruct the means of egress. This is particularly likely to occur during holiday seasons. No furnishings or decorations of an explosive or highly flammable character are permitted. Any exit alarms or devices installed to restrict the improper use of an exit shall not, even in cases of failure, prevent the emergency use of such exit. Doors, stairs, ramps, passageways, signs, and all other components of means of egress shall be of substantial, reliable construction and shall be built and/or installed in a workmanlike manner. |
