The pathways to exit doors must be as wide or wider than the door itself. Carts, students’ desks, cabinets, etc. should not impede evacuation in an emergency.
HOUSEKEEPING rules require that all areas of the classroom be maintained in a neat, orderly manner and be free from any condition that would create a fire, life safety, and/or emergency evacuation hazard.
