Areas of Refuge are areas where one or more people can wait safely for assistance during an emergency. Which option is correct?

• A. Exits
• B. Training Rooms
• C. Assembly Areas
• D. Areas of Refuge

Answer: (D)

Areas of refuge are spaces within buildings where people who cannot evacuate quickly can wait safely for assistance during an emergency. This definition matches the correct option because it identifies the purpose of such a space: to provide a protected place to await rescue or help. Exits describe the routes to leave the building, not a waiting area for rescue. Assembly areas are designated outside for gathering after evacuation, not spaces inside intended for waiting for assistance. Training rooms are not safety waiting areas in emergencies.
