The fire service as of July 28, 1985, must address House Bill 62 (WASHINGTON CLEAN INDOOR AIR ACT) as a normal inspection duty. This ACT requires fire personnel to enforce Sections 4 and 5 as they relate to the duties of owners or persons in control of public places. The law states that the owner/manager/proprietor must establish the smoking and non-smoking areas based on his/her knowledge of the operation. Citations may be issued to persons that do not properly identify (sign) their structure and enforce the restrictions. The fire service is only accountable for placement of signs. Law enforcement is responsible for activities relative to this act involving destruction of signs and smoking vio at ons. P ease ca 1 Inspector John Whitaker (259-8710) for further assistance or information. 17. A serious problem with the exiting exists on the second, third, and fourth floors. The Uniform Building Code defines an exit --'A continuous and unobstructed means of egress to a public way, and shall include intervening doors, doorways, corridors, exterior exit balconies, ramps, stairways, smoke -proof enclosures, horizontal exits, exit passage ways, exit courts, and yards' (Sec. 3301(b)). The Uniform Building Code requires that --'the second story shall be provided with not less than two exits when the occupant load is ten or more' (Sec. 3303(a)) and 'occupants on floors above the second story and in basements shall have access to not less than two separate exits from the floor or basement' (Sec. 3303(a)). The occupants of this area of the building do not have access to exits as required in the code. The second means of egress goes out on the roof of the building next door. The problem is further complicated by lack of adequate exit signs. Neither is there any provision for emergency lighting in this area where there is no natural light. Any fire incident which involved the exit stairway or any access to the stairway would certainly put the occupants in jeopardy of serious injury or worse.
