Ralph, Below is the response from Stanford Fire Marshal. Larry Gibbs Larry, I am not aware of any code requirements that would limit the length of a lab peninsula. Overall, for labs, the code does limit the length of travel distance to an exit or exit-access door to 75 feet . Not sure if this helps. Joe Joseph Leung, P.E.

While such a rule makes sense, I am unable to find any supporting information. Thanks for your assistance. Thanks for any information. - Ralph Ralph Stuart, CIH Secretary, ACS Division of Chemical Health and Safety Environmental Safety Facility 667 Spear St. Burlington, VT 05405 rstuart**At_Symbol_Here**uvm.edu
