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.

Designated refuge areas in multi-storey buildings

Legal Requirements
Refuge point signage is required under Building Regulations and the Equality Act 2010 to ensure accessible means of escape. This sign meets BS 5499 and ISO 7010 standards, ensuring compliance with UK accessibility and fire safety regulations whilst providing universally recognised safety communication.
Installation Guidelines
Mount at eye level in or adjacent to refuge areas where it can be easily seen by all users. Position the sign where it remains visible from multiple approach directions and ensure it's not obstructed by doors, equipment, or other fixtures.
