Fire evacuation plans

playIt is important that Evacuation Diagrams are displayed and visible within the building as they provide the occupants with a pictorial representation of the floor or area and other relevant emergency response information.

When do I need fire evacuation plan?

It is a requirement of the building owner to ensure all employees have a safe workplace. Under the various states Workplace Health & Safety
Regulations that a person conducting a business or undertaking has a Duty of Care to prepare, maintain and implement an Emergency Plan.

In the event of an emergency these diagrams can take some stress out of the situation as they tell the occupants where to go and if they need to use some form of fire fighting equipment they can have a look at the diagram and know exactly where to go.
