Escape route is the last resort you would seek in case all measures to curtail an accident fail. Note that ships comprise of several machines, pipelines, and complex systems (Pneumatic, hydraulic, electrical, and electronics) running at extremely high working parameters. This makes the ship an extremely hazardous environment to work in. While working on ship, trouble always comes uninvited and you must be prepared for the same. Sometimes, in spite of following all the safety measures, things might go wrong. For such situations, always pre-plan your exit-strategy from your working place through the easiest and fastest route possible.
