Exit Route Requirements
For an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) 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.
EAPs, FPPs, and Fire Protection
An exit route consists of three parts:
- Exit access: The portion of an exit route that leads to an exit.
- Exit: The 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: The 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.
