What is one way to ensure that a Means of Egress keeps occupants safe?

By limiting the number of exits
By maintaining clear pathways
By using decorative elements
By reducing lighting

The correct answer is: By maintaining clear pathways

Maintaining clear pathways is crucial for ensuring that a Means of Egress is safe and effective. Clear pathways allow occupants to evacuate quickly and efficiently in an emergency situation, such as a fire or other hazardous event. When pathways are unobstructed, individuals can navigate towards exits without the risk of tripping or encountering barriers that could delay their exit. Clear pathways also contribute to overall safety by helping to prevent panic during an evacuation. If occupants can see and access exits easily, they are more likely to remain calm and composed as they make their way to safety. This is especially important in high-stress situations where time is of the essence. In contrast, limiting the number of exits, using decorative elements, or reducing lighting can create hazards and impede effective evacuation. Each of these factors can distract or obstruct occupants, compounding the risk during emergencies.
