Fire exit capacities

Hi, exit capacity question...

In a premises with 2 exits, does the larger exit have to be discounted from the capacity calculation? (to account for a fire). And if so, that leaves me with one usable door which limits capacity to 60. Am I right in thinking this? 

 (I know that one escape restricts capacity to 60 people but I am unsure if this applies when you start with 2 but discount one).

Thank you

Yes, discount the largest and it's numbers - e.g. if you had a 100 person capacity exit and a 200 capacity one you would assume 300, but have to discount the larger bringing you down to 100.

The 60 is where you only ever had one exit in the first place.
