Minn. R. agency 151, ch. 5205, ILLUMINATION, pt. 5205.0140 - EXIT AND EMERGENCY LIGHTING
The lighting to be provided in all important stairways and all exits from work places and in the passageways related thereto shall be so supplied that it will not be subject to failure of the room or workspace lighting from internal causes. In artificial illumination, the service for exit and emergency lighting shall preferably be from an independent connection or connections extending back to the main service entrance.
In cases of unusual danger which may exist on account of the type of building or nature of the work, crowded conditions, or lack of suitable exit space, an independent service shall be assured by connecting to a separate source of supply without or within the building. During the hours of occupancy when daylight is lacking, this separate source of supply shall be connected so as to function continuously or to come on automatically upon failure of the regular lighting service.
