Emergency Sign - Emergency Assembly Area

AS 1319 outlines the requirements for Emergency Information Signs to effectively guide individuals during emergencies. These signs should feature a white symbol or text (or both) displayed on a green rectangular background. The primary purpose is to clearly indicate the location of emergency facilities, such as exits, safety equipment, or first aid stations.

Here are a few key points about these signs:

1. Color Scheme: The use of white symbols or words on a green background is essential for visibility and recognition, as green universally signifies safety and the presence of emergency services.
2. Clarity: The symbols and text should be easily understandable, allowing for quick recognition in high-stress situations.
3. Location and Direction: The signs should be strategically placed to provide clear guidance to emergency facilities, helping individuals navigate safely and efficiently.
4. Standards Compliance: Following AS 1319 ensures that the signs meet the necessary safety regulations and provide effective communication during emergencies.
