Refuge Point Compliance
Refuge areas are designated safe spaces where people who cannot immediately evacuate can wait for assistance from emergency services. This sign ensures these critical areas remain unobstructed and clearly identified. The glow-in-the-dark feature guarantees visibility even during power outages or in smoke-filled conditions, when maintaining clear access to refuge points becomes most crucial for occupant safety.
Emergency Evacuation Benefits
During emergencies, refuge points serve as temporary safe areas for people with mobility impairments, wheelchair users, or those who cannot use stairs. This sign prevents these areas from being blocked by equipment or storage, ensuring they remain accessible when needed most. The photoluminescent properties provide continuous visibility, supporting both everyday awareness and emergency response procedures.
