Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 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. At the work site located at 1840 Progress Avenue, Columbus, Ohio, employees entered the low bay area to access materials and equipment needed for various job runs for customers with specific requirements. A fire exit near the 3M area was blocked by debris.
