Explanation
Answer - A - The Means of Egress standard provides guidelines for preparing a corporate emergency action plan and creates specifications for unobstructed means of exit from any point in a company’s building.

Key Takeaway: “Means of Egress” refers to the ability to exit a given structure, usually in the context of an emergency, such as a fire. In business, this standard provides the guidelines for preparing a corporate emergency action plan. It’s usually broken into three parts: how employees physically get to the exit, the actual exit, and the path from the exit to a safe area outside. Additionally, the Means of Egress also lays out the required number of exits in a structure and any special needs of employees or other inhabitants.
