Imagine you are on the upper floors of a high-rise building and are told to evacuate via the nearest stairway enclosure.  As you travel down many flights of stairs, you might lose track of where you are in the building.

 

Today’s Coffee Break Training, “Discharge Identification Barriers” explains the requirements to protect evacuees from entering a basement.
