Life Safety Aisle/Exit Impairment Permits

Life Safety Aisle/Exit Impairment Permits are issued for tasks that will require the aisle

work, then a permit will be issued to identify the work and materials that will be within

the life safety lines. Basically no more than one half of the aisle (minimum of 36”) may

be blocked for a partial and the partial impairment must last two hours to require

permitting. Total blockages require a 24-hour notice, considerable coordination and

are generally permitted only on off-shift to keep the risk levels lower. Remember, if you

block less than half the aisle for less than 2 hours, you do not need a permit.
