What should be the travel distance of exists on any floor of business building? Correct Answer 30 meter
Explanation:
Travel Distance:
- The distance to be traveled from any point in a building to a protected escape route, external escape route, or final exit.
Exit Requirements
- Ample provision for escape of population of a building when on fire is vital and all routes should be, constructed to ensure that the population reaches a place of safety in the shortest period of time without undue hindrance by smoke, fumes, debris, and the like.
- Every building meant for human occupancy should be provided with exits sul%cient to permit the safe escape of occupants, in case of fire or another emergency.
Arrangement of Exits
- Exits should be so located that the travel distance on the floor should not exceed the distance given in Table 3.
- The travel distance to an exit from the dead-end of a corridor should not exceed half the distance specified in Table, except in educational assembly and institutional occupancies in which case it should not exceed 6 m.
- Whenever more than one exit is required for any room, space or floor of a building, exits should be placed as remote from each other as possible and should be arranged to provide direct access in separate directions from any point in the area served.
