The means of egress is the continuous and unobstructed path of travel from any occupied point to the public way. It has three main parts: (1) exit access (within the space to an exit), (2) exit (protected path such as stair enclosure), and (3) exit discharge (from the exit to the outside/public way). Egress compliance focuses on capacity, travel distance, number of exits, and door hardware/operation.

Worked example(s)
Example: In an office suite, walking through the open office to the corridor is exit access; the rated stair is the exit; the sidewalk/outdoor path is the exit discharge.
