Requirements for office emergency exit

[jrewing]

Does anybody know how many doors must be in an office of 8 persons for emergency escape ?

We have a new office for 8 people with one door leading to the hall, off of which there are 2 emergency exits. A concern has been raised that the office should have 2 exits for emergency escape.

Does anybody know if the office requires a second door ? Or does someone have a link to relevant safety legislation ?
