What is required at all times in terms of egress paths from safety shelters?

In the context of NFPA 1123, egress paths from safety shelters are crucial for ensuring the safety of personnel during a fireworks display. A minimum of two separate egress paths is required to ensure that in the event of an emergency, individuals can quickly and safely evacuate from the safety shelter. This redundancy is important because it provides alternate routes in case one path becomes blocked or obstructed, enhancing overall safety.

Having multiple egress paths helps to prevent panic and ensures efficient evacuation. It allows individuals to choose a route according to the situation at hand, providing flexibility in emergency scenarios. This requirement is part of broader safety protocols established in the NFPA Code to minimize risks associated with fireworks displays and to protect both spectators and personnel.
