Exits

1. Inspect all exits in the building.


2. Verify operation of the doors.
   • Do the doors operate smoothly and easily?
   • Do they open fully?
   • Are there restrictions or obstructions of any kind?
   
   
3. Identify falling hazards both inside and outside.
   • Are there parapets or ornaments on the exterior that could block the exit if they fell?
   • If there is masonry veneer around the door opening, what is its condition, and could it block the door if the connection failed?
   • Regarding the interior, has the ceiling fallen or is it threatening to fall?
   • Are there special light fixtures over the door or in the area that could be a hazard or block the door if they fell?
   • What is their current condition?
   
   
4. Verify condition of pathway to and from the exit doors.
   • Is the area around the exterior of the door clear and free of debris?
   • Is the interior pathway to the remainder of the building free of debris?
