Every Building or structure, new or old, designed for human occupancy shall be provided with _________?
Correct Answer
D. Exit
Explanation
Every building or structure, whether it is new or old and regardless of its purpose, must be equipped with an exit. An exit is a means of egress that allows people to safely leave the building in case of an emergency or evacuation. It is a crucial safety feature that ensures the well-being and protection of the occupants. Without a proper exit, people would be trapped inside the building during emergencies, increasing the risk of injury or even death. Therefore, it is essential for all buildings to have exits to comply with safety regulations and to ensure the safety of the occupants.
4.
Every building or structure, section, or area thereof such as size, occupancy, and arrangement, shall have at least ________ means of egress remote from each other.
Correct Answer
B. Two
Explanation
Every building or structure needs to have at least two means of egress that are remote from each other. This is important for safety reasons, as it ensures that there are multiple exit routes in case one becomes blocked or inaccessible during an emergency. Having two separate means of egress helps to prevent overcrowding and allows for a more efficient evacuation process.

Therefore, it is necessary to adhere to the recommended maximum height of 180 mm to maintain proper stair design and functionality.
25.
The minimum tread depth for new stairs is _____________________.
Correct Answer
D. 280 mm
Explanation
The minimum tread depth for new stairs is 280 mm. This means that the horizontal distance from the front edge of one step to the front edge of the next step must be at least 280 mm. This is important for safety reasons, as a sufficient tread depth allows for proper foot placement and reduces the risk of tripping or slipping on the stairs. A deeper tread also provides more stability and comfort while ascending or descending the stairs.
26.
This refers to the way of passage from one building to an area of refuge in another building on approximately the same level.
Correct Answer
C. Horizontal Exit
Explanation
A horizontal exit refers to a passage that allows individuals to move from one building to an area of refuge in another building on the same level. It provides a safe and accessible route for evacuation during emergencies, such as fires or other hazards. Unlike vertical exits, which involve moving up or down stairs or elevators, horizontal exits are typically on the same floor, making them easier to navigate for individuals with mobility limitations.
27.

Hazardous storage and business and mercantile occupancies having a floor area exceeding one thousand eight hundred sixty square meters (1860 m2) per floor shall be provided with a wet stand pipe.
Correct Answer
C. True
Explanation
The given statement is true. Hazardous storage and business and mercantile occupancies with a floor area exceeding 1860 m2 per floor should be equipped with a wet standpipe. A wet standpipe is a system of pipes and valves that are connected to a water supply and can be used by firefighters to quickly access water for firefighting purposes. This requirement ensures that larger occupancies have the necessary infrastructure in place to mitigate fire hazards and protect occupants.
50.
Assembly occupancies with an occupant load not exceeding one thousand (1000) shall be provided with a wet stand pipe.
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
Assembly occupancies with an occupant load not exceeding one thousand (1000) do not need to be provided with a wet standpipe. A wet standpipe is a system of pipes and valves that are permanently filled with water and used for firefighting purposes. In this case, since the occupant load is not exceeding 1000, it is not necessary to have a wet standpipe.
