Workplaces are generally required to have at least two exit routes, but this may differ for a number of reasons. More than two exits are required if two exit routes would not allow safe evacuation based on number of employees, building size, or arrangement of the workplace. (OSHA attempts to clarify this subjective requirement by referring employers to NFPA 101-2009, Life Safety Code or I nternational Fire Code (IFC)-2009.)
