Blocked Exit Passageway

Our nursing department is conducting training and we need to have various types of equipment lined up along the corridor during that time for training.  Is there a way this setup could be legally permitted for a week or two?
The Exit Passageway/Path of Egress would definitely not be free and unobstructed with a large quantity of equipment lined up along the corridor.  Unless this was just a very brief temporary condition with appropriate ILSMs implemented, TJC would possibly call this an Immediate Threat to Health & Safety.  At a minimum I think an ILSM risk analysis should be done and ILSMs should be in place for the duration of this event.
