Re: Exit signage
Mr. Peasley,
I have received reports that during the past last Black Friday Sale the Yelm Wal -Mart store had secured
all but one exit. As this was by all reports a good sales event with an estimated 4000 customers in the
store you can see the potential hazard. Those reporting say it is common for exits to be locked during
early morning hours. The locking of exit doors was called to the attention of the previous manager last
January. As store manager you should be aware of the seriousness of maintaining required exits during
all hours of operation. As stated to the previous manager I am will to consider alternative methods of
securing the exit doors if security is an issue. See attached fax copy.
On my last shopping visit to the store I noted that not one of the required store front exit doors, with
keyed locks, displayed the sign "This door to remain unlocked during business hours" required per note
3 on the approved plans and the building codes in effect at the time of construction. I have discussed
this with Allen Seay, the Project Construction Manager. His advice was to contact you being responsible
for the signage installation.
Please install the required signage as noted on the attached Schedule notes, #3, by December 17, 2011.
Thank you. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 360 - 458 -8407 or at
ga rvc @ci.yelm.wa. us.
Sincerely
Gary Carlson

COMMENTS:
Adam,
Per your request I am forwarding you the requirements for the entry /exit
door per the appoved exit plan. The door specified by Wal -Mart was not
designed to be used as an exity when locked. For security reasons I willing
to consider any alternative solution to the locking of the door that meet
National Standards by UL, 1CC or other recognized agency. Any question
I may be reached at 360- 458 -8407 or at garyc@ci.yelm.wa.us. Thank you
Gary Carlson
