The overall idea behind industrial egress is to provide every worker with a means of emergency escape from his or her workstation. Workers at heights, whose only means of access and exit are fixed ladders or moving machinery, are subject to being trapped in an emergency.
For example, this can result from fire, smoke, and fumes around overhead crane operators.
