Definitions of Egress and Exit Components
A means of egress comprises three distinct parts: exit, exit access, and exit discharge. The exit component is the part between exit access and discharge or public way. It includes various elements like doors, stairways, ramps, and exits. Exit access leads from an occupied space to an exit, while exit discharge is the portion between an exit and a public way. A public way is a space open to the public for public use. Additionally, accessible means of egress provide unobstructed paths for egress travel, and an area of refuge offers temporary shelter during emergencies. The common path of egress travel is measured from the furthest point in a story to where occupants have access to multiple exits.
