Intent 1:
To limit the probability that doors, when in the
open position, will reduce the available width of an exit, which could
lead to:
- insufficient width to permit efficient egress in an
emergency situation, which could lead to delays in the evacuation
or movement of persons to a safe place, which could lead to harm to
persons, and
- emergency responders being delayed in gaining access
to floor areas in an emergency situation, which could lead to delays
or ineffectiveness in emergency response operations, which could lead
to delays in the evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place,
which could lead to harm to persons.
