An Emergency Evacuation Plan is only useful when people can quickly understand where they are, where they need to go, and what emergency equipment is available along the way.
Accurate Safety Compliance develops Site-Specific Emergency Evacuation Route Maps that visually identify evacuation routes, exits, emergency equipment, and other important access points throughout your facility or property.
Our team works from your facility plans, site plans, surveys, and field observations to create clear, easy-to-understand maps that can be used for employee awareness, emergency preparedness, facility signage, and coordination with the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
Every facility is different. We develop evacuation maps specifically for your property rather than relying on a generic template.
Depending on the facility, maps may identify:
We evaluate the available paths through the facility or property and develop clearly identified routes to designated exits and evacuation areas.
Routes are presented in a straightforward format so employees, occupants, visitors, and emergency personnel can quickly understand the intended path of travel.
Where applicable, we can develop maps for individual floors, buildings, or areas of a larger property.
Emergency evacuation maps can incorporate the location of critical emergency equipment throughout the facility.
Equipment may include:
Equipment can be individually identified and documented to provide a visual reference between the physical location and the facility's equipment records.
Large facilities and properties with multiple buildings or floors require more than a single generic map.
ASC can develop a coordinated mapping package for:
Each building or floor can be mapped individually while maintaining consistent identification, symbols, legends, and formatting across the entire property.
Where fire extinguishers are included in the scope, ASC can identify each extinguisher by location and unique asset identifier.
Each extinguisher may be documented by:
Where applicable, extinguisher locations can also be incorporated into ASC's Equipment Management System, allowing the map to serve as the visual reference while the equipment record provides the ongoing inspection, maintenance, and service history
Maps are developed using available architectural drawings, floor plans, land surveys, site plans, and field-verified information.
Final maps can include:
The finished map can be prepared in a format for facility posting, employee communication, emergency preparedness, or use by your designated sign or printing provider.
When required, ASC can coordinate with the applicable fire department, fire marshal, or other authority having jurisdiction regarding the information shown on the map.
AHJ review requirements vary by jurisdiction and project. Any required inspection, review, approval, or verification remains the responsibility of the applicable authority.
For projects involving fire-extinguisher placement, ASC can document the proposed locations and coordinate with the AHJ regarding their requirements for final verification.
An evacuation map is a visual representation of evacuation routes and emergency equipment. It is not, by itself, a complete OSHA Emergency Action Plan.
A complete Emergency Action Plan may include written procedures for reporting emergencies, evacuation procedures, employee accountability, rescue or medical responsibilities, and designated responsible personnel.
ASC can provide Emergency Action Plan development separately when those written procedures are needed.
Site-Specific Planning: Emergency evacuation maps are developed for the specific building, floor, or property being mapped. Each additional site, building, or floor may require additional mapping and associated charges.
To develop your evacuation route maps, we may use:
If existing plans are unavailable or inaccurate, ASC can discuss field verification and site-mapping requirements as part of the project scope.
Depending on the project scope, your completed mapping package may include:
Emergency Evacuation Route Mapping provides your organization with a clear visual reference for where people go, how they get there, and where critical emergency resources are located when an emergency occurs.
