EXIT TYPES & LOCATIONS

We know what an Exit is, sure. But what about Exit Access? Exit Discharge? A Horizontal Exit, or Exit Passageway? What are the different types of Exits? How are they located and arranged? We cover all this and more in this series.

Our objectives include:

  1. Identify different types of exits.
  2. Identify the differences between Exit Access, Exits, and Exit Discharge.
  3. Be capable of identifying requirements as well as correct and incorrect exit separation requirements.
