Improper Exit Arrangement

Life Safety Tip from Bob Trotter, CBO, CFM, MCP



Improper Exit Arrangement

If a temporary partition is installed to separate an area undergoing construction, repair, or improvement operations, alternate EXITS need to be identified. According to LS.01.02.01 Element of Performance 2 of the 2012 Hospital Accreditation Standards “The hospital posts signage identifying the location of alternate exits to everyone affected”. The appropriate action for this scenario would be to cover or remove the EXIT sign and post the (floor plan) signage indicating the location(s) of alternate EXITS.
