Fire Exit Drills for Places of Employment
Section 19-394a-2 - Purpose

The purpose of fire exit drills is to ensure the efficient and safe use of the exit facilities available. Drills shall provide orderly exiting, under control, to prevent panic which has been responsible for much of the loss of life in major fire disasters. Order and control are the primary purposes of the drill. Speed in emptying buildings or clearing areas, while desirable, is not in itself the primary objective and should be made secondary to the maintenance of proper order and discipline.
