Explain why. 【Answer】The doors of substations must open outward, because in case of danger, it is easier to push the door than to pull it when people inside the substation need to escape.
The doors of the substation should open outward to allow people to escape in emergency situations.
Facing outward, firstly, it doesn’t take up internal space; secondly, it facilitates escape in emergency situations!
Not only the doors of the substation, but also the doors of all chemical production areas open outward, to prevent situations where poor indoor conditions such as power outages, fires, or high dust levels could obstruct escape routes and lead to an escalation of the accident
Reply to 1# zhaohh3211: It definitely opens outward; there are requirements set by regulations regarding things like the fire resistance rating of the doors.
Our factory’s 35KV substation faces outward
It must open outward; explosion-proof doors are required to open outward, as stipulated in the building design fire protection codes
The doors in workplaces where flammable and explosive materials are present all open outward, not only the doors of substations. Generally*, it is customary to push the door open, and that’s also the rule.
Good. One question per day – it should open outward to facilitate the evacuation of people in case of an accident
From a safety perspective, it should open outward~~~
In the most critical situations, people instinctively run outside to get away from danger; they usually push the door open outward rather than pulling it inward, and this is done to ensure personal safety.
