For an Emergency Action Plan to work, it's important that thought and planning is given to exit routes. An exit route is a continuous and unobstructed path of exit travel from any point within a workplace to a place of safety.

An exit route consists of three parts:
- Exit access - 29 CFR 1910.36(a)(3) portion of an exit route that leads to an exit.
- Exit - portion of an exit route that is generally separated from other areas to provide a protected way of travel to the exit discharge.
- Exit discharge - part of the exit route that leads directly outside or to a street, walkway, refuge area, public way, or open space with access to the outside.
