OS3 Safety in Use

Attribution

[F30-OS3.1]Applies to portion of Code text: “A swing-type door from a service room containing a boiler or incinerator shall swing … inward if the door opens onto a corridor or any room used for an assembly occupancy.”

Intent

Intent 1:

To supersede the requirement for an outward swinging door in the first part of Sentence 3.6.2.6.(1) and require the door to swing inwards in situations where there will likely be people on the other side of the door.

This is to limit the probability that a door swinging outwards will hit persons, or lead to persons hitting or bumping into the door, which could lead to harm to persons.
