Lizzie D., I hope you are being sarcastic and not just blonde! This is a serious question that I would like to have an answer to.

Yes. There are regulations on this. Unfortunately, these very from state to state. These regulations (building and fire codes) will specify, depending on the size and use of the building you are in, how many exits and what type of exits must be present. If they are not, then they are in violation of the fire code.
I take it may be are asking this question because you have probably already asked it at work and got the typical, "Don't worry about it?" You are also probably worried about how much you can push the issue and not place your job in jeapordy. But don't don't let that allow to to keep your life in jeapordy.
Your best bet is most likely the local fire marshal or fire inspector. If you are in a larger municipality, this will be handled by city inspectors. If you are in a smaller town or rural area with no local fire inspectors office, you may actually have to contact your state fire marshal's office for guidance.
Trust your instincts. If you feel you are working in a place where fire could easily trap you with limited means for escape, you owe it to yourself to question it. Be careful though, employers and companies don't like to spend money and certainly don't like "whistle blowers."
Good luck.

I would suggest checking with your company safety person first - they can tell you their policy for evacuation. If in fact there are no exits, other than the way you came in, bring that up to management. Everything I've been exposed to suggests at least two exits from any location. Also, it is very important that YOU take the initiative to check your surroundings, no matter where you are, and what alternatives are available, ie; fire sprinkler systems, smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, etc..., and that YOU know how everything will help protect you in the event of a real fire. DO YOUR HOMEWORK on this matter - you may not always be able to rely on someone elses expertise or reaction.

Firstly,has any individual found out wherein Heaven is? Secondly,in view that Heaven are not able to exist on this fabric realm,there would be not anything od a fabric nature in Heaven. Thirdly,in view that Heaven is meant to be wherein God is living, and God is meant to be omniscient (all Knowing)then God might no longer have any want for smoke detectors and alarms,

yes they are in violation of building codes, but it may depend on the state, in ny a commercial building or an apartment building must have an acessable fire escape. i think residential must have a window. to be counted as a livable floor.

Sounds dangerous and it probably is illegal. Make an ANONYMOUS complaint to the OSHA bureau in your state. Let them look into it and take action.
