Emergency Assembly Area

Emergency Assembly Area and Assembly Point Signs

Gathering everyone in one place after an evacuation is the only quick way to know who is outside and who is still inside. The signs in this category mark the assembly area, show the way to it and help each unit find its own point on sites with more than one area.

What Is in This Category?

Emergency assembly point, assembly area, assembly place and assembly centre signs; signs numbered 1 to 5 and lettered A, B, C; signs with a left or right arrow showing the way to the assembly area; photoluminescent horizontal strip signs and horizontal signs with your department names printed in the bottom section. The assembly pictogram on the green background is the ISO 7010 E007 sign.

How to Choose

A plain text sign is enough where there is a single assembly area. With several areas, choose numbered or lettered signs, and arrow signs for the route between the building and the area. Assembly areas are usually outdoors, so galvanized steel is recommended, with a photoluminescent finish for evening drills.

Frequently Asked Questions

How high should an assembly area sign be mounted? To be seen over a crowd, mounting it on a post about 2 to 2.5 metres above the ground is recommended.
