Doors and booby hatches
34.—(1)  All doors and entrances to passenger compartments shall be equal in width to the ladders or stairways to which they give access, and such doors shall be divided and shall be made to open outwards.
(2)  Emergency doors shall be provided to all compartments entered in or through long deckhouses which open only on one side of the ship.
(3)  Over each of the hatchways leading to the passenger compartments there must be a booby hatch or other substantial covering of such character as will, in the opinion of a surveyor of ships, afford the greatest amount of light and air and protection from the weather that the case will admit. Flat sliding hatches will not be considered sufficient for this purpose. Booby hatches having hinged flaps instead of hoods and hinged doors are not regarded as satisfactory and shall not be accepted as the only means of ingress to, or egress from, a passenger compartment.
