Exits in salons and spas should NOT be

• A. randomly located at the owner's discretion
• B. clearly marked and accessible
• C. free of obstructions
• D. properly lit

Answer: (A)

Emergency exits must be easy to locate and use for a quick, safe evacuation. If exits were placed randomly at the owner's discretion, guests and staff wouldn’t know where to go in a hurry, which can cause dangerous delays. The correct safety practice is to keep exits clearly marked and accessible, with pathways free of obstructions and with adequate lighting so people can reach and follow them without confusion or hindrance. Clear signage, unobstructed routes, and proper illumination help ensure a calm, orderly exit even in stressful situations or when visibility is reduced. Following these standards is essential for everyone’s safety in a salon or spa.
