$ * $ * $

Some more info.........An OSHA Fact Sheet.......See Page 2,

under "What are the maintenance, safeguarding and operational

features for exit routes".

https://www.osha.gov/OshDoc/data_General_Facts/emergency-exit-routes-factsheet.pdf



Provide lighting for exit routes adequate for employees with normal vision.

Keep exit route doors free of decorations or signs that obscure the visibility of

exit route doors

Post signs along the exit access indicating the direction of travel to the nearest

exit and exit discharge if that direction is not immediately apparent........Also,

the line-of-sight to an exit sign must be clearly visible at all times.

Mark doors or passages along an exit access that could be mistaken for an

exit “Not an Exit”, or with a sign identifying its use ( such as “Closet” ).

Install “EXIT” signs in plainly legible letters
