To allow for proper fire protection, which of the following is important? ______.

  1. Air hoses properly stored

  2. Door ways are closed and paths be clear

  3. Safety manuals be available

  4. Windows be closed

The correct answer is: Door ways are closed and paths be clear

Proper fire protection in a manufacturing environment is crucial for ensuring the safety of all employees and the facility as a whole. Keeping doorways closed and pathways clear is a significant aspect of fire safety. Closed doorways can help contain a fire and slow its spread, giving individuals more time to evacuate and emergency services time to respond. Clear pathways are essential for quick and safe evacuation during an emergency. They prevent bottlenecks and allow personnel to navigate the area efficiently, ensuring that everyone can escape safely. While air hoses being properly stored, safety manuals being available, and windows being closed may contribute to overall safety and organization, they do not directly address the immediate need for safe evacuation and fire containment as effectively as keeping doorways closed and ensuring clear paths. Hence, the focus on closed doorways and clear paths demonstrates a proactive approach to anticipating potential fire emergencies.
