Evacuation Diagrams

An emergency can strike at any moment. Being prepared is key to ensuring the safety of everyone in your building. A crucial part of that preparation is clear and effective evacuation diagrams.

What are Evacuation Diagrams?

Evacuation diagrams are visual representations of a floor plan, highlighting escape routes and emergency exits. They play a vital role in guiding occupants towards safety during emergencies like fires, floods, or medical situations.

Why are They Important?

Evacuation diagrams are a critical component of emergency planning, providing clear and accessible guidance for building occupants in the event of an emergency. According to AS 3745:2010, these diagrams must be displayed prominently along evacuation routes and must be oriented in accordance with the building's layout. They serve as visual tools that detail the quickest and safest exit paths, locations of firefighting equipment, and assembly points.

The standard stipulates that diagrams should include a pictorial representation of the area, a clear 'You Are Here' marker, designated exits, and locations of emergency equipment such as fire extinguishers and manual call points.

Additionally, they should be updated regularly to reflect any changes in the building layout or emergency procedures. The importance of adhering to AS 3745:2010 cannot be overstated, as these diagrams play a vital role in ensuring the safety of individuals during emergencies by providing straightforward, life-saving information.

Our team of specialists will design clear, concise, and compliant evacuation diagrams for your facility. These diagrams will guide occupants to the nearest safe exits quickly and efficiently during an emergency.

Customised Emergency Response Planning

We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We work collaboratively with you to develop a customised emergency response plan (ERP) that addresses the specific layout, operations, and potential threats of your facility. This plan will outline procedures for various emergencies, including fire, evacuation, medical emergencies, and security threats.

Risk Assessment

What is the cost of not being prepared? An emergency can be devastating, causing injuries, property damage, and operational disruption. Investing in emergency preparedness isn't just about complying with regulations; it's about safeguarding the well-being of your staff and the future of your business. Our experienced team will conduct thorough risk assessments to identify potential hazards in your workplace and develop strategies to mitigate those risks.
