Stairs or a ramp must be provided where the exit route is not substantially level. On or about 24 July 2019, the employer did not ensure that the exit routes were free and unobstructed. Three exit routes were blocked by parts and material. Employees working throughout the facility were exposed to fire hazards in the event of an emergency. Abatement documentation is required for item in accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
