Where Should a Emergency Exit Down Arrow Sign Be Used?
Stairwell landings, basement-level corridors, underground car parks, below-ground retail or leisure facilities.

Which Material Should I Choose?
Aluminium Composite: Best for permanent indoor or outdoor signage and locations requiring a rigid, durable sign.
Correx: A lightweight, economical option for temporary or shorter-term signage.
Self-Adhesive Vinyl: Best for application directly to smooth, clean surfaces such as doors, panels and equipment housings.

Why this sign: It should be fitted wherever the designated escape route requires occupants to descend, such as above stairwell entrances or at floor level in multi-storey or below-ground buildings. Without clear directional guidance, evacuees may become disoriented and fail to reach the exit in time during an emergency.

Compliance note: In Ireland, employers must provide appropriate safety signage where hazards cannot be avoided or adequately reduced by other measures, based on the workplace risk assessment, under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007. This sign is suitable for use as part of a workplace safety-signage system where identified by that risk assessment.
