evakuatsiooniväljapääse

Evakuatsiooniväljapääs is the Estonian term for an emergency exit. These are specifically marked routes or means of egress designed to allow people to safely leave a building or area in the event of a fire, earthquake, or other emergency. Evakuatsiooniväljapääsud are crucial for life safety and are regulated by building codes and fire safety regulations in Estonia.

The primary purpose of an evakuatsiooniväljapääs is to provide a clear and unobstructed path to safety. This includes ensuring that doors open easily in the direction of travel, that the paths are well-lit, and that they lead to a designated safe assembly point outside the building. Signage indicating the location of evakuatsiooniväljapääsud must be visible and understandable, often using internationally recognized symbols. Regular maintenance and inspection of these exits are mandatory to guarantee their functionality during an emergency. Obstruction of an evakuatsiooniväljapääs is a serious safety violation.
