Emergency Exits

[Bluegum]

I am searching for some information in regards to the distances required to be kept clear around emergency exits. I have been told its 3sqm around all exits. I need something to use as a reference (ie chap, para and subpara) for a sign at my wifes place of work. I had been told its somewhere in the BCA, but I do not have a copy handy to use. The on line version at work has been down for a few days thanks to a few technical issues. Any help will be appreciated

Like you my references are at work

However, my recollection is that the "path" to the door must be a minimum of 1.2m wide

Personally I wouldn't bother with a sign. If obstructing the door is an issue, mark the floor with yellow tape or paint and send arround a note advising everyone that the marked are must be kept clear

If you wife has a concern with how the exists are being used I suggest you ring the Queensland equivalent of WorkCover
