Commercial Exit Signs for Offices

You ask why you need to equip your office with exit signage. For one, it’s mandated by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and it’s the absolute best way to ensure your employees, customers, and visitors will be informed with the correct information in an emergency. By outfitting your place of work with exit route signs, everyone will have the proper resources needed to execute a quick emergency evacuation. Egress signs should be placed in key locations throughout your business, including hallways, stairwells, and entrances/exits — especially areas where the nearest exit is not immediately apparent.

Thank you for looking out for the safety of anyone who goes in and out of your building! We appreciate you!

Emergency Exit Only Sign for Corporate Office Buildings

Do your corporate office employees know where the emergency exit only signs are? If not, it’s time to give them a crash course or send out an important memo. It is crucial for your staff—particularly those who have recently joined the company—to know where each emergency exit is located, as these exit only signs indicate where the nearest exit is. They may be in an important meeting when the siren sounds, but safety supersedes business (always!). You can never be overly familiar with the emergency exit strategy, so make sure your corporate office building is properly equipped with the right emergency exit signs.

Exit Symbol Signs for General Businesses

As the NFPA requires, exit symbol signs identify the exit doors within your business. They are normal exits but can also be used as fire exits during emergencies to divide the traffic flow. Exit symbol signs include a pictogram of someone walking towards a door or opening. Since pictograms are more easily processed at a distance, they make it easier for customers and patrons to locate your exit doors!

'Not An Exit' Signs for Movie Theaters

Beauty is in the eye of the ticket-holder—looks are deceiving and not all doors are exits. Use the ‘not an exit’ sign to identify the doors in your theater that should not be used as an exit to spare any movie-goer from potential public embarrassment. But more importantly, these “not an exit” signs or “no exit” signs will ensure customers are directed toward the doors and stairwells that are viable exit paths (time is valuable when safety is concerned).

Which Stair Signs Do I Need In My Corporate Office Building?

Not all office buildings are high-rises, but many tall ones are out there! That means there are a lot of staircases and stairways. The fitness enthusiasts and the ambitious ones may choose to travel using stairs, while others opt for the elevator—either way, you need stair signs to indicate every stairway entrance! Use stairway signs to direct traffic and deliver critical information to your employees, visitors, and emergency responders in the event of an emergency.

Do Any States or Cities Have Specific Stair Signs Requirements?

California, NYC, and Washington, D.C. are three states or cities with specific stair requirements. For Golden State residents, please note that California stair signs for high-rise office buildings have a few extra requirements: prescribed egress wording, the exact floor where each map will be used, and emergency procedure information. For Big Apple residents, NYC stair signs require specifying the exact stairway and level and must include the word “EXIT.” For DC residents, note that Washington, D.C. stair signs require identifying the exact stairway and level, including “EXIT” and a stairs symbol.
