so what i meant was that doors can lock in a way where if you try to open them one way, the lock is engaged, but in the other direction it is not (thus, the same singular door is locked from entering, but does not prevent folks inside from safe egress)I was assuming locked meant locked with no way to open, yes.
Been a while since I reviewed any OSHA guidelines, but based on what I remember of other passages I would bet that OSHA doesn't give a shit if it's an entrance or exit in an emergency, just that it is unlocked during business hours. In a panic people arent going to head to the exit, they're going to head to a door.
There may be a specific provision for separate entrance and exit doors, though. In which case this entire reply is moot.
