In addition to the requirement of installing emergency escape signs at 1.7m - 2.2m from the ground, additional escape guidance should be provided throughout a building to highlight fire fighting equipment, doors, hazards along an escape route, boundaries, stairs and ramps.

ISO 16069:2017 also recommends that additional intermediate and low location markings may also be required. The use of both continuous guidance lines and safety signs will ensure there is an uninterrupted safety sign system to aid an efficient and safe evacuation from a building.

Ensuring that signage is clearly visible in blackout conditions can prove the difference between life and death during an emergency escape evacuation. UltraBright photo-luminescent (glow in the dark) emergency escape signs can lead evacuees though a building even in smokey, black out conditions.
