Blocked exit detection
A blocked fire exit is invisible right up until the inspection, or the evacuation.
The problem
Why it keeps happening.
Egress obstructions accumulate through the ordinary flow of work: staged pallets, delivery overflow, equipment parked "for a minute". Every one of them is a life-safety violation and among the most common citations inspectors write.
Walkthrough checks catch obstructions at walkthrough time. The other twenty-three hours are unmonitored.
The rule
Written the way you'd say it.
“Flag aisles or emergency exits blocked for more than two minutes.”Compile it in the Rule Playground
How it runs
- 01
Mark every exit and route
Emergency exits, egress corridors, and fire-equipment access points are marked on existing camera views.
- 02
Flag obstructions fast
Anything left in the zone past the threshold (minutes, not hours) triggers an alert to the area owner.
- 03
Escalate what stays
Uncorrected obstructions escalate to EHS with the clip attached, so chronic problem areas surface.
- 04
Keep the compliance record
Every violation and correction is sealed in FloFusion: demonstrable egress compliance for inspectors and insurers.
Measure
What's measured.
- Minutes each exit stayed blocked
- Obstructions per exit and shift
- Time from alert to correction
What it’s worth
- Life-safety compliance enforced continuously, not sampled
- Citations and fines avoided at inspection time
- Evacuation readiness that is real, not assumed
- Chronic obstruction points identified and fixed at the source
Estimate your ROI for your own operation, in about two minutes.
Comply
The evidence.
- A clip and frame of the event, sealed with the device’s own key the moment it happens
- The rule that fired, the zone and camera, and the time
- The vision-language model’s verdict on the alert, with its reason
- Who saw it, who acted, and when, in the audit log

Common questions
How fast are obstructions detected?
Detection is continuous and you set the alert threshold. Most sites flag an obstruction within one to two minutes of an object being left.
Link to this questionCan we prove compliance history to an inspector?
Yes. Each event and its correction is sealed on the device and verified in FloFusion, and the record for any period can be exported.
