In addition, the following points should also be
considered:
• restrict the number of people using an
inner room to 60.
• access rooms should be under the control
of the same person as the inner room.
• the travel distance from any point in the
inner room to the exit from the access
room should be restricted to escape in one
direction only (see Table 2), unless there
are alternative exits from the access room.
• no one should have to pass through
more than one access room while making
their escape.
• the outer room should not be an area of
high fire risk.
