Emergency Evacuation Maps
Emergencies never happen at a convenient time. They are unpredictable and very few people are trained for emergency situations. When an alarm sounds, and the smell of smoke is present, we cannot predict what individuals will do.
A well planned, documented Emergency Evacuation Procedure is essential and mandatory in every commerical premises. Maps which show the way out of an emergency situation are also part of the documented procedure.
Every room and space should have an easily accessible map that anyone can take off the wall and use it to proceed to safety.
