When you get on a plane, you will hear a safety announcement before take off. Importantly, where to find the exits. Hotel bedroom doors show you the route to exits.
At most Toastmasters International speakers' club meetings I have attended in England, whoever opens the meeting, the Toastmasters of the Day (or the Sergeant at Arms or President) gives directions to the fire exit.
At a large meeting, such as a speech contest or conference, such as one I attended at London Business School, an usher or person in charge of seating will prevent latecomers or those without ticketed seats from sitting on the stairs because that blocks the aisles and is forbidden by safety regulations.
If you are organizing the meeting, you might get to know the layout of the building, the toilet location, kitchen or cafeteria or coffee machine area, the time the meeting ends. Also the entrance, fire exit, any defibrillator machines which are often found in public areas and near swimming pools.
If you are a landlord, or renovating a building, you might wish to check regulations and install fire exit signs.
