Why Does My Office Need A Fire Emergency and Evacuation Plan?

There’s no question about it: every office needs at least one fire emergency and evacuation plan signage (depending on the building size and the number of workers). When the siren sounds during an emergency, all attention turns to exiting the building as quickly as possible. If workers are ill-informed of the proper egress path, they may waste time searching for a viable exit path. Let’s avoid this scenario by outfitting your office with detailed and thorough fire evacuation signs and emergency exit symbols.

Each evacuation plan includes the following components: room names or categories, exits, pull alarms, fire extinguishers, evacuation routes, and a “you are here” marker. This information makes it easy for folks to get a lay of the land and know where to head for safety. With dozens of evacuation map styles and accompanying evacuation map holders, you will quickly find a pair with your building’s existing décor.

In addition, post fire safety signs to ensure employees, customers, and visitors can respond quickly and safely during an emergency.

How Do I Order Evacuation Plans for My Office?

Ready to order your new fire emergency and evacuation plans? Depending on the size of your building, you will need multiple evacuation plans. How many building levels do you have? How big are your floors? Think of it this way: if a floor has multiple wings and sections, wouldn’t you want to give each section its own map? Believe us; this will make it simpler for people within your office or building to find the exits closest to them.

We’ve greatly simplified the evacuation map ordering process! Just follow the steps below:

1. Select the appropriate emergency exit floor plan sign for your situation (choose from room, elevator, lobby, or stairway evacuation plans), make any customization selections, add it to your cart, and checkout.
2. Submit building blueprints, floor plans, or a copy of a current evacuation map via email. Since we don’t have x-ray vision just yet, floor plans help us understand your building layout. We can’t move forward without them!
3. Based on your blueprint, we create a clean plan showing all your emergency information.
4. You will receive a checklist with your proofs. Note any changes and send the proofs back to us.
5. Once we receive your final corrections, your maps will ship within ten business days. It’s that easy!

We have an entire department dedicated to the evacuation map process because it’s such an important part of your building! Plus, we will work to ensure your maps are in line with all state-specific regulation standards.
