Knowledge check: Fire Protection and Prevention

Scenario: Donna is attending a staff meeting in one of the conference rooms when the fire alarm suddenly goes off. Donna and her coworkers head towards the nearest exit. There are approximately 50 employees working for the company, and Donna finds that the evacuation is extremely slow because it seems that everyone is heading towards the same exit. It takes more than 10 minutes to get everyone safely out of the building and away from danger.

The slow evacuation time and lack of additional exits doesn’t seem right to Donna, so she informs her supervisor of her concerns. The supervisor states that because of the small number of employees, one exit route is sufficient to safely evacuate all employees in a timely manner.

Question: Is one exit route sufficient to safely evacuate employees in case of fire or another emergency?

Knowledge check: Fire Protection and Prevention: Answer

Answer: No. Employers must provide an adequate number of exits to permit the prompt escape of occupants in case of fire or another emergency. Employers must provide at least two exit routes to ensure that employees can safely evacuate in case one exit route is blocked by fire or smoke.
