BASIC REFERENCE FOR ARCHITECTS
GENERALLY MEANS OF ESCAPE CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS
• Unprotected areas leading direct to
exit

• Protected areas leading direct to exit

•this is the basis of ‘Travel Distance’
• Unprotected areas forming
escape routes are to be limited in
distance to minimize exposure to smoke and
fire .
MEASUREMENT OF TRAVEL DISTANCE TO EXITS
Refer to page 47 (GFP)
Preferably not more
than 12m to exit

Refer to page 61 (GFP)
MEASUREMENT OF RISER AND TREAD
• Tread not less than
255mm
• Riser not more than
180mm
• Single riser in staircase
not permitted min-2 nos
• More than 16 risers per
flight not encouraged
• Tread and riser
dimensions should be
constant to prevent
slipping
• Width of staircase shall
not reduce along its
path of travel to the
final exit
