Can anyone tell me if there is any regulations (referring to the title of my question) that outline specific requirements for employees' exit clearance.

For example:

I'm in a 12' x 23' room that has deep desk furniture lined up against the wall, extending 30" with the person in a chair (add another 30" when pulling out of a desk), mirrored on both sides. You'd have approximately anywhere between 1'-2' of clearance between each chair if two employees were to pull out of their desks, potentially blocking other people from exiting the room; easily.

I'm working on a floor plan that will potentially have up to 6 people working inside said dimensions. This situation seems like it could be a potential safety hazard, but I need references to back up this feeling.

Version 1: Version 1

Version 2: Version 2

Thank you in advance.

Regulations regarding fire codes/OSHA for exit clearance for multiple employees in tight working conditions
