Clear passages to these closets must always be maintained. A fair proportion of the closets must be allotted to the sole use of women and children, and must be so marked outside.

If any of the space measured for passenger acccommodation is occupied by live animals, they should, if carried under cover, be separated from the passengers by a (moveable) close bulkhead extending from the deck to the covering above. If live animals are carried on the same level deck as passengers, and are not under cover, then the space occupied by the animals shall be effectually shut off from the passenger space by bulkheads, wooden partitions, or otherwise. The partitions need not be close.
