OFFICE AND SHOP PREMISES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1966 - SECT 33

33.(1) While a person employed to work in premises to which this Act applies
is in the premises for the purpose of doing his work or eating a meal, the
doors of any doorways through which he might have to pass so as to get out of
the premises shall not be so locked or fastened that they cannot be
immediately opened by him on his way out.

(2) The contents of any room in premises to which this Act applies, being a
room wherein work is done by any of the persons employed to work in the
premises, shall be so arranged or disposed as to afford, to the persons who
work in the room, free passageway to a means of escape in case of fire.

(3) So long as a fire certificate with respect to any premises is in force,
all exits affording, or giving access to, means of escape stated in the
certificate to be relevant as mentioned in section 29(5)(c) (other than exits
in ordinary use) shall be distinctively and conspicuously marked by notices
printed in letters of adequate size.
