Since
the introduction of emergency planning, field studies indicate that evacuation
procedures in written format only are minimally effective as an
educational tool. Most people do not take the time to, or simply
cannot read them. They are non descriptive when posted for viewing and
the information provided is inadequate due to poor format. They are used
because nothing better had been created, until now.
If building
occupants know what to do and act quickly, life and property loss can
drop dramatically. These Graphic Fire Evacuation Procedures Posters
were designed to perfectly complement the Building Fire Safety Planning
System Software, but are an excellent stand-alone product as well if
your existing emergency plan meets existing requirements.
Our Graphic
Fire Evacuation Procedures Posters are a pictorial transfer of vital
data with supplementary written information, resulting in almost instantaneous
education that breaks all language barriers. The Pictorial Information
is in full colour and is displayed on a highly visible placard. For
long life, we utilize perma-ink and a UV protective covering on all
our posters. User feedback has been of high praise. The consensus is
that the Graphic Fire Evacuation Procedures Posters are a great step
forward in evacuation education.
One of
the most favourable observations noted by fire officials and consultants
is that the attitudes of companies and building owners with respect
to fire safety, are very positive and forward moving. It is found that
those in positions of authority genuinely care for the welfare of their
people and try to provide the best in safety possible.
