What is the minimum square footage designated for secure records storage?

• A. 80 Square Feet
• B. 100 Square Feet
• C. 110 Square Feet
• D. 120 Square Feet

Answer: (D)

Adequate space for secure records storage means having enough area to organize, access, and securely handle confidential documents without crowding or compromising security. A practical setup uses shelving or filing cabinets along walls, with at least a clear path for movement and a small work surface for processing records. Having roughly a 10-by-12-foot room (about 120 square feet) provides room for the storage units, a compact desk or workstation, and the required aisle space to reach and retrieve files safely, while also allowing the door to open without obstruction. Smaller spaces tend to become cramped, making it hard to access files, maintain security, or move safely.
