Where should the pull box be located?

The pull box should be located within 5 feet of exit doorway openings to ensure that it is easily accessible in the event of an emergency. Quick access to the pull box is crucial for activating alarm systems and ensuring that emergency services are notified promptly. When pull boxes are placed too far from exits, it can delay response times and hinder evacuation efforts, potentially putting lives at risk.

The proximity to exit doorways allows people to reach the pull box quickly as they evacuate or encounter an emergency situation, making option B the most effective choice for safety and response readiness. Other locations, such as maintenance rooms or beyond a certain distance from exits, can complicate access and slow down emergency response, making them less desirable.
