Where Should a Emergency Exit Down Left Sign Be Used?
Stairwells leading to ground-floor exits, basement-level emergency routes, multi-storey car parks, shopping centre corridors with lower-level exits

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 posted where the nearest emergency exit requires occupants to move in a downward-left direction, such as at stairwell entrances or corridor junctions leading to a lower-level exit door. Without clear directional guidance, evacuees may lose time or move in the wrong direction during an emergency, increasing the risk of injury or casualties.

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.
