MEANS OF EGRESS
a.
Classify occupancy(ies) per Life Safety Code
NFPA 101, Ch.4.
b.
Determine Occupant Load Factor from Life
NFPA 101, pph 5-3.1.2
Safety Code
Determine occupant load by dividing floor area
c.
NFPA 101, pph 5-3.1.2
by Occupant Load Factor. Calculate this for
each floor or area.
Determine Egress Capacity for each approved
d.
NFPA 101, pph 5-3.3.1
component of the means of egress per the
Life Safety Code.
e.
Determine minimum required width of each egress
NFPA 101, pph 5-3.3.1
component by multiplying egress capacity factor
by the occupant load (number of people) served
by the egress component.
f.
In addition to the calculation performed in (e)
NFPA 101, pph 5-3.4
above, does each component of egress meet the
required absolute minimum width?
