My question is about exit requirements for chemistry labs. Does a policy limiting the amount of each flammable substance to one gallon or less in the entire building allow exits from different upstairs labs to lead to only one hallway? In other words, students from various labs would have to exit by the same hallway, and there would be no limit as to the number of flammable chemicals allowed - as long as each one was present in amounts less than one gallon. Natural gas lines would also be in the labs. Thank you for any help you can provide.
