Hi All,
I just took our code update class (based on 2006 IFC) and one change brought up was to 1028.4 which was amended to require that maintenance of the means of egress only when the the areas served by such exits are occupied.
I have my own thoughts on the matter, but I was hoping somebody here may have more information on the reasoning behind the change. I know many of you are familiar with what the committees actually discussed on the matter, so hopefully I can gain some insight into the decision.
Also I was wondering if anybody could confirm this same wording exists in 2009?
Thanks!
