Complete Egress Solutions

A means of egress consists of three separate and distinct parts: the exit access, the exit, and the exit discharge. A means of egress comprises the vertical and horizontal ways of travel and shall include intervening room spaces, doorways, hallways, corridors, passageways, balconies, ramps, stairs, enclosures, lobbies, escalators, horizontal exits, courts, and yards.

1. In case of emergency, all building occupants shall have exits sufficient for prompt and convenient escape.
2. Life safety should not be dependent on a single exit or safeguard.
3. During the period necessary for escape, the building structures shall not cause danger to occupants.
4. Means of egress shall be visible to occupants who are mentally and physically capable of understanding the direction of emergency escape.
5. Any passageway or doorway not constituting an exit and may be mistaken for an exit needs to be marked as “Not an Exit.”
6. Reliable and adequate illumination shall be provided for all exit facilities. 
7. Fire alarm facilities shall be provided where necessary to warn occupants of the existence of fire. 
8. Provisions for emergency egress shall not cause hazards under normal occupancy conditions.
