Who is responsible for functional emergency exits?

Summary

The responsibility remains with the operator. Technology can assist, but not replace the organizational obligation.

Functional emergency exits are the operator's responsibility. This applies not only to the structural situation but also to ongoing operations.

Operators managing multiple locations, branches, or public buildings therefore need clear responsibilities and traceable processes. This is precisely where structured controls and digital overviews can help.

The most important rule is simple: responsibility remains with the operator – even if technology makes the work easier.
