Why do you Need a Fire Evacuation Diagram

​

Fire evacuation maps are elements of any emergency preparedness strategy due to their ability to assist with safe evacuations by providing clear and easily understandable guidance, to occupants. During crises, fear and uncertainty can hinder evacuations. These maps help by providing cues and directions that lead individuals to safety. Secondly it's important to make sure that everyone, in the building knows where the emergency exits, meeting spots and firefighting tools are located. This knowledge helps people act quickly and effectively during emergencies reducing the chances of harm or loss of life. Another key point is to follow the rules and regulations set by authorities like the Australian Standard 3745 and Queensland Building and Fire Safety Standards. These standards require businesses and public places to have fire evacuation maps in place. Adhering to these rules isn't only a legal an obligation but also crucial for keeping people safe.

​

Creating Fire Evacuation Diagrams in Line with Australian Standards

​

When making fire evacuation diagrams it's essential to meet standards for accuracy, efficiency and compliance. The Australian Standard 3745 sets out guidelines for what these diagrams should include. How they should be designed. Some important aspects are:

Information: The diagrams must show details like floor layouts, with escape routes, exit points, assembly areas well as the locations of fire extinguishers and emergency alarms.

Design:The design of evacuation diagrams should be clear easy to read and simple to understand. Text symbols and images need to be clear so that people can grasp them quickly in situations. Emerging Graphics have years of experience in producing high quality fire evcuation diagrams to all Australian Standards.

Evacuation diagrams should be strategically placed in areas, around the building for visibility by occupants. These diagrams are commonly found near entrances, stairwells, elevator lobbies and other busy spots.
