3.4.2.5.(2) | Application | Intent |
| + | + |
| Application | Application 1: Location of exits and maximum
travel distance to at least one exit, in a high
hazard industrial occupancy, where more than one exit is
required from a floor area. This
applies to floor areas, including mezzanines as
stated in Sentence 3.4.2.2.(1), in buildings described
in Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A.
Application 2: This also applies to tents and air-supported
structures, as stated in Sentences 3.1.6.1.(1) and 9.10.1.2.(1). |

| Intent | Intent 1: To exempt floor areas used for high-hazard industrial occupancies
from the permission in the latter part of Sentence 3.4.2.5.(2) to space
exits around the perimeter of a large building instead of the travel distance
limits of Sentence 3.4.2.5.(1), on the basis that the growth of a fire
will be so rapid that delays in evacuating are not acceptable, and the 25
m travel distance limit of Clause 3.4.2.5.(1)(a) is necessary.
