Mich. Admin. Code R. 408.10611 - Design of buildings and structures
Rule 611.
(1)
The danger to employees must be minimized.
(2) A building or structure designed for
human occupancy shall be provided with exits, as prescribed in this part, that
permit prompt escape in case of fire or other emergency.
(3) Exits and other safeguards shall be
designed so that an employee's safety or preservation of life in case of fire
or other emergency is not dependent solely on a single safeguard. Additional
safeguards shall be provided for life safety in case any single safeguard is
ineffective due to human or mechanical failure.
(4) Exit routes shall be kept free of
explosive or highly flammable furnishings or other decorations.
(5) A building or structure shall be
constructed, arranged, equipped, maintained, and operated to avoid undue danger
to the lives and safety of the employees from fire, smoke, fumes, or panic
during the period of time necessary for escape from the building or
structure.
(6) An employee alarm
system must be operable. Employers shall install and maintain an operable
employee alarm system that has a distinctive signal to warn employees of fire
or other emergencies, unless employees can promptly see or smell a fire or
other hazard in time to provide adequate warning to them. The employee alarm
system must comply with General Industry Safety Standard Part 9 "Fixed Fire
Equipment," and
29 C.F.R.
1910.165 "Employee alarm systems" as adopted
in
R 408.10606.
