The level of fire protection that should be given to escape routes will vary depending on the level of risk of fire within the premises and other related factors. Generally, premises that are simple, consisting of a single storey, will require fairly simple measures to protect the escape routes, compared to a large multi-storey building, which would require a more complex and inter-related system of fire precautions.
When determining whether your premises have adequate escape routes, you need to consider a number of factors, including:. The people present in your premises will sometimes just be employees, but most of the time will be a mixture of employees and members of the public. Employees are reasonably expected to have an understanding of the layout of the premises, while members of the public will be unlikely to have knowledge of alternative escape routes.
The number and capability of people present will influence your assessment of the escape routes. You must ensure that your existing escape routes are sufficient and capable of safely evacuating all the people likely to use your premises at any time, including events such as sales.
If necessary you may need either to increase the capacity of the escape routes or restrict the number of people in the premises. In the event of a fire, it is important to evacuate people as quickly as possible from the premises. Escape routes in a building should be designed so that people can escape quickly enough to ensure they are not placed in any danger from fire. The time available will depend on a number of factors, including how quickly the fire is detected and the alarm raised, the number of escape routes available, the nature of the occupants and the speed of fire growth.
Older buildings may comprise of different construction materials from newer buildings, and may be in a poorer state of repair.
The materials from which your premises are constructed and the quality of building work and state of repair could contribute to the speed with which any fire may spread, and potentially affect the escape routes the occupants will need to use.
A fire starting in a building constructed mainly from combustible material will spread faster than one where fire-resisting construction materials have been used. If you wish to construct internal partitions or walls in your premises, perhaps to create a sales area or to divide up an office area, you should ensure that any new partition or wall does not obstruct any escape routes or fire exits, extend travel distances or reduce the sound levels of the fire alarm system.
Any walls that affect the means of escape should be constructed of appropriate material. Depending on the findings of your fire risk assessment, it may be necessary to protect the escape routes against fire and smoke by upgrading the construction of the floors, ceiling and walls to a fire-resisting standard.
You should avoid having combustible wall and ceiling linings in your escape routes. Implementation of Cyber-security risk mitigation measures onboard Indian Flag Ships. Flag State Inspection Policy.

Illegal migrants who evade detection, creators of value in insecure and precarious working conditions and those who refuse the constraints of sexual and biomedical classifications: these are the people who manage to subvert power and to craft unexpected sociabilities and experiences.
Escape Routes shows how people can escape control and create social change by becoming imperceptible to the political system of Global North Atlantic societies. It is in these fields that the present and future of multitude is at stake. Escape Routes is a toolbox in the hands of multitude.
Another world is here! So announce the authors in their preface to a stirring and intellectually inspiring book about the possibility, the necessity and the potency of escape. The authors trace escape routes through the ordinary and through everyday practices. Escape Routes is required reading for anyone who believes in the alternative worlds produced alongside neoliberal capitalism. A rich variety of work starts with some version of the autonomous thesis, that the everyday actions or resistances of people precede power
