Quick Answer:
Minnesota businesses must comply with Minnesota OSHA evacuation requirements under 29 CFR 1910.38, including posted evacuation maps with marked exit routes, fire extinguisher locations every 75 feet, assembly points, and "You Are Here" markers. As a State Plan state, Minnesota may enforce additional requirements beyond federal standards.
