Signage

It is vitally important that exit routes are clearly signposted to avoid confusion in an emergency. In the event of a fire, clearly marked escape routes can save lives.

BS5499 and European Council Directive 92/58/EEC

Since ‘Text Only’ signs became illegal in the UK and EEC the only Escape Route Signs permissible in the UK are signs conforming to BS5499-4 and European Council Directive 92/58/EEC. They are similar in design, the major difference being that in BS5499-4 signs the ‘running man’ appears in the doorway and in European Council Directive 92/58/EEC signs the ‘running man’ is running towards the door way.
