"Means of Egress" is a critical concept in building and fire safety, particularly in the context of the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code. Here's a breakdown of each element:
Means of Egress: This refers to a continuous and unobstructed path of travel from any point in a building, structure, or facility to a public way. The means of egress is a vital aspect of building design and is composed of three main parts:
Exit Access: The portion that leads to an entrance of an exit.
Exit: The portion that is generally separated from other areas to provide a protected way of travel to the exit discharge.
