B. Every building or structure shall be designed, constructed, equipped, maintained

and operated to avoid danger to the lives and ensure safety of its occupants
from fire, smoke, vapor and fumes, during the period of escape from the
building or structure.

C. Every building or structure shall be providedwith exits of kind, number, location

and capacity appropriate to the individual building or structure, with due regard
to the character of the occupancy, the number of persons exposed, the fire
protection available and the height and type of construction of the building or
structure, to afford all occupants convenient facilities for escape.
