Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003A Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.36(a)(3): An opening into an exit was not protected by a self-closing fire door that remains closed or automatically closes in an emergency upon the sounding of a fire alarm or employee alarm system. Each fire door, including its frame and hardware, must be listed or approved by a nationally recognized testing laboratory: Front Breakroom Stairway: On, or about, January 31, 2019, the exit stairway that provided egress from both the main level and the lower level was not enclosed at the top landing or at the landing that led to the lower level. In the event of an emergency, the stairway could be compromised by the lack of protection from smoke and fire. Abatement Note: The wall opening that provides a window between the Breakroom and the hall may need to be closed in to limit the number of openings into the exit enclosure.
