| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that an element of a means of egress
from a building will have an inadequate capacity or a lower degree of safety
than that required for the other elements, which could lead to delays in the
evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place in an emergency situation,
which could lead to harm to persons. Intent 2: To limit the probability that a person's unwillingness to
use, or lack of familiarity with, an exit facility in an emergency situation
will lead to delays in the evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place,
which could lead to harm to persons. |
