medical health first aidWhat is the OSHA requirement for walkway width?
Thereof, what is the minimum walkway width?
A good rule of thumb is to make garden walkways at least four feet wide. This minimum will allow two people to walk comfortably side-by-side. This is especially important for paths that will get frequent use, such as the one leading to your front door. The more a path is used, the wider it should be.
Regarding this, how wide do aisles need to be?
The recommended width of aisles is at least 3 feet wider than the largest equipment to be utilized, or a minimum of 4 feet. Storage room aisles containing flammable and combustible liquids should be at least 3 feet wide, and emergency exit access should have a minimum width of 28 inches.
Exit routes must be at least 28 inches wide at all points. Exit routes must be unobstructed and free from clutter. Adequate lighting (including emergency lighting) must be provided so that an employee with normal vision can see along the exit route. Each exit must be clearly visible and marked by a sign reading “Exit”.
