Where Should a Emergency Exit Up Arrow Sign Be Used?
Office buildings, retail premises, warehouses, public assembly halls

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 along escape routes where the exit lies directly ahead, guiding people who may be unfamiliar with the building layout. Without clear directional signage, evacuation can be delayed, increasing the risk of injury or fatality during a fire or other 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.
