How I will implement egress into my design work, would be making it easy for the occupants to locate the emergency exit and having the path way to safety simple and fire resistive as possible for everyone to come out. The important elements that consist in a safe egress would be ventilation in the staircase have enough fresh air during a fire, signs and making it visible for everyone, have the walls of that incase the staircase fire proof and built with fire resistive materials like cmu, and having an exit discharge so people would be able to safely exit the building into a refugee area or public space.
