Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 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. The employer does not ensure that their exit routes are free and unobstructed. This violation was most recently observed on September 24, 2019 at Dollar Tree Stores, Inc.'s 2300 Roosevelt Ave Marinette, WI 54143 location. The exit route from the back break room in the store room to the exit doors is not free and unobstructed. Boxes and product are stored in the walkways requiring employees to turn sideways to walk through. The walkways are measured down to approximately 16 inches in width at floor level. To abate this violation, the employer must ensure that its exit routes are free and unobstructed. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, the employer must submit documents describing the steps it is taking to ensure compliance, including a description of how these steps protect its employees from blocked exit routes. (An abatement plan and periodic progress reports may also be required if the abatement period is more than 90 days.) THE DOLLAR TREE STORES, INC.
