| Application | Application 1: Minimum size of rooms and compartments where intake
openings for linen chutes and refuse chutes are located, in buildings described

| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that rooms and compartments having
linen chute or refuse chute intake openings will be too small, which could
lead to persons having difficulties in accessing the intake openings, which
could lead to linen or refuse being placed outside of the chute in the room
or compartment, which could lead to the buildup of refuse or linen to a point
where the door to the room or compartment will not close properly, which could
lead to a fire spreading through the shaft intake openings or originating
in the room or compartment spreading to other parts of the building, which
could lead to harm to persons in other parts of the building. |
