    NFPA 101 permits a 15-second delay, which may be extended to 30 seconds only with authority having jurisdiction approval.

  2. A magnetic lock on an egress door released by a motion sensor must also have which additional feature under typical building and life safety codes?

    Answer: A manual push button near the door that releases the lock

    Sensor-release electromagnetic locks require a secondary manual release button so occupants can exit if the sensor fails.

  3. Which door lock configuration should be used on a stairwell door that must allow fire department re-entry when the fire alarm activates?

    Fail-safe locks unlock when power is removed, allowing re-entry and egress during a fire alarm event.

    Recording conversations can violate federal and state wiretap laws, especially in two-party consent states.

  6. Which OSHA provision is most often cited when an employer fails to address a recognized workplace violence hazard with no specific standard?

    Answer: The General Duty Clause, Section 5(a)(1)

    Without a specific workplace violence standard, OSHA uses the General Duty Clause to cite recognized serious hazards.

  7. Emergency lighting along means of egress is generally required to operate for at least how long after normal power fails?
