Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.37(a)(3): Exit routes must be free and unobstructed. No materials or equipment may be placed, either permanently or temporarily, within the exit route. The exit access must not go through a room that can be locked, such as a bathroom, to reach an exit or exit discharge, nor may it lead into a dead-end corridor. Stairs or a ramp must be provided where the exit route is not substantially level. On or about February 6, 2017 and times prior thereto, at exit door C36, the employer did not ensure the exit route was free and unobstructed. This condition created delay in exiting the building in an emergency, and trip and fall hazards in a fire.
