Selection and placement guidance
Install this sign at the point where decisions are made, and ensure it remains visible from normal approach routes. For guidance on selecting compliant fire-fighting safety signage and understanding correct placement, refer to our Fire Fighting Safety Signs explainer.
Visibility and material options
This sign is available in standard safety sign materials suitable for indoor and outdoor use, depending on the selected variant. Where emergency wayfinding is required during power failure or reduced lighting, photoluminescent options may be more appropriate.
A photoluminescent (glow-in-the-dark) version of this sign is also available for emergency routes, low-light conditions, and areas where power failure may occur. View the photoluminescent version.
For applications requiring extended emergency wayfinding or complete escape route coverage, view the full range of photoluminescent safety signs.
Compliance
In South Africa, safety sign designs follow South African National Standards (SANS), including SANS 1186-1:2022, which governs the design, colours, shapes, symbols, and application of safety signs and safety markings. These standards are administered through the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) to promote consistent recognition across workplaces and public environments.
SANS 1186-1:2022 aligns closely with internationally recognised standards, including ISO 7010 and ISO 3864-3, ensuring familiarity and clear understanding across different industries and regions.
