Subject: [labnetwork] gas room means of egress
Dear Colleagues,
I am trying to influence a decision on a second means of egress from the gas room at the University of Delaware and your input is very much appreciated.
This is the room where the cabinets for toxic, flammable, and pyrophoric as well as some panels for inert gases will be located. The room is adjacent to and separated from the cleanroom by a fire rated wall (I was told it is at least two hours-rated). The code consultant states that a second means of egress is not needed for this H2 occupancy room but I feel it is a must.
How many doors does your gas room have?
Thank you very much.
Iulian
