Neil,
At the very least I would install a window (preferably a door) in the live room on the wall opposite the CR window. If you put in a window it can have an interior steel covering on hinges that provides isolation and security but is easily opened from the inside.
In case of a fire, and blockage of the main door, it can be accessed from the live room easily.
In the same scenario the alternate escape route from the control room would be to break through the CR window (I'd keep a large fire extinguisher in the CR as they are handy for more than putting out fires, they can break windows) and gain access to the live room exit. Obviously an alternate exit at the back of the CR is best but in the case of an emergency the CR window is expendable and better than no alternate.
