    The document discusses requirements for escape routes on vessels. It states that there must be two means of escape from machinery spaces, one providing continuous fire shelter. Ladders must be secured to prevent heat transfer. Controls rooms in machinery spaces must have escape routes that do not require entering the machinery space. Escape routes must be designed to allow passengers and crew to safely and swiftly evacuate to lifeboat embarkation decks. They must be maintained in a safe condition without obstacles. Low level lighting and photo luminescent markings are required to clearly mark all escape routes. Escape routes in machinery spaces must be well-marked, doors must open from both sides, and ladders must be clearly marked.

    The design of a vessel should allow for passengers

    and crew to quickly and safely evacuate any


    compartment and access the survival craft
    embarkation deck in the event of a fire or other
    emergency. Escape routes are both routes for
    escape and access.
    Machinery spaces:
    There shall be two means of escape from each machinery
    space, one of which shall provide continuous fire shelter.
    Ladders are to be secured with insulated fixing points so that
    heat from a fire can not be transferred to the ladder. A control
    room within a machinery space must have a means of
    escape which does not necessitate entering the machinery
    space.

    MEANS OF ESCAPE
    Purposes
    Means of escape are provided so that person on board can
    safely and swiftly escape to the lifeboat and liferaft
    embarkation deck.
    For this purpose, the following functional requirements
    shall be met: .1 Safe escape routes are provided consisting of stairways,
    walkways, alley ways, doors etc.
    .2 Escape routes must be maintained in a safe condition,
    clear of obstacles; and
    .3 Additional aids for escape are provided as necessary to
    ensure accessibility, clear marking, and adequate design for
    emergency situations.

    .4 Lifts shall not be considered as forming one of the


    means of escape.
    .5 Doors required to be self-closing shall not be fitted with
    hold-back hooks. However hold-back arrangements fitted
    with remote release devices of the fail-safe type may be
    utilized.
    .6 The emergency lights fitted along the escape routes
    should be tested.
    The photo luminescent strips marking the escape routes
    should be maintained clean.

    Low level lighting:


    Vessels carrying more than 36passengers are required to provide low level
    lighting at all points of the escape route, including angles and intersections,
    stairways and exits. Low level escape route marking is in addition to the
    required emergency lighting and may be either electrically powered or photo
    luminescent. Strip indicators are placed not more than 300mm above the
    deck. The markings must enable passengers to identify all routes of escape
    and escape exits.

    Escape Routes, Machinery Spaces

    1. Escape Routes in engine room are to be well known and well


    marked with photo luminescent arrow sticker and/or arrow
    mark.
    2. All doors are to operate easily and door accesses are to be
    kept clear of obstructions and are not to be locked at any time.
    Photo luminescent IMO symbols should be posted on all exits.
    3. All doors on escape route exits should be openable from both
    sides by the ship staff, to facilitate escape as well as render
    emergency help.
    4. Stanchion of handrail of stairs in engine room shall be applied
    with photo luminescent tape to show the stars clearly in dark
    conditions.
