Help with Exit Door Egress
Hello Folks,
Having a hard time understanding what the within means in 1910.37(a)(3)
Exit routes must be free and unobstructed. No materials or equipment may be placed, either permanently or temporarily, within the exit route. The exit access must not go through a room that can be locked, such as a bathroom, to reach an exit or exit discharge, nor may it lead into a dead-end corridor. Stairs or a ramp must be provided where the exit route is not substantially level.
We continuously have raw material stored in the linear path of the exit due to space constraints, but the start of the material is at least 28" away from the exit door. A pathway to the door is available to the side. Is this compliant with the code?
