Exit Signs: Visible from all points of the warehouse. (Technical Reference #3)
IX GENERAL SAFETY PROCEDURES
> Storage commodity, height, storage array and aisle widths will be maintained in accordance
with the terms of this report. Any changes shall be approved by the' Carlsbad Fire
Department prior to implementation.
> All ethployees will receive special training on the use of portable fire extinguishers of the
types to be provided in the building.
Exit doors will be maintained unobstructed and opened weekly to ensure their operation.
X CONCLUSION
)
Based on the code research conducted in support of the development of this fire protection report, it
is our opinion that this building will be in fqll compliance with the 2007 editions of the California
Building 'Code, the California Fire Code and nationally recognized standards as they relate to the
described use and occupancy. •• ••
It is the opinion of Daryl K. James & Associates, Inc. that this fire proteôtion plan is complete and
provides an adequate level of fire and life safety to the occupants and to the building. If after
reviewing this report, you have any questions or comments please do contact me. We look forward.
to working with you to resolve any issues that may arise, and will be awaiting your response.
