What is a key indicator of fire safety preparedness in a facility?

Accessibility of emergency exits is a key indicator of fire safety preparedness in a facility because it directly relates to the ability of occupants to safely evacuate in the event of a fire. Emergency exits must be clearly marked, unobstructed, and easily reachable to ensure that everyone within the facility can exit quickly and safely during an emergency.

Considering the other options, decorative fire extinguishers do not serve a practical purpose for fire safety if they are not functional or readily available in a way that meets safety regulations. The presence of artwork in hallways, while potentially enhancing the aesthetic appeal of a space, does not contribute to safety protocols. Similarly, the frequency of marketing materials for fire safety does not indicate actual preparedness; it may reflect awareness efforts but does not directly measure the safety measures that have been implemented or their effectiveness in an emergency.
