Refuge Point signs help you show safe waiting spaces for people who may need help during evacuation, giving staff, visitors and fire marshals clearer guidance in workplaces and public buildings.
Refuge Point signs show the safe place where someone who cannot use stairs can wait for assistance during an evacuation. You would fit them in protected refuge areas in offices, schools, hospitals and public buildings so staff, visitors and responders can identify the location quickly and act with less confusion.
Where Refuge Point Signs Work Best
Fit this sign directly beside the refuge space and on the approach to it where people can spot it before reaching the stair lobby or protected waiting area. It works best at normal eye level in clean sightlines, because a refuge sign only helps if you can recognise it quickly under pressure.
Suggested Viewing Distance Guide
For small formats, keep viewing distance close such as short corridor approaches and door-side positions. Larger sizes suit longer approaches, wider circulation areas and open landings where the refuge location needs to be picked out earlier from a greater distance.
What This Sign Helps You Achieve
Used in the right place, this sign gives people a clearer evacuation reference point and helps your team identify where assisted evacuation may be needed.

Refuge Point Sign Questions You May Be Asking
What does a Refuge Point sign mean? It shows the temporary safe area where a person who cannot use stairs can wait for assistance during an evacuation.
Who is this sign helping? It primarily helps people with mobility limitations, visitors unfamiliar with the building and the staff responsible for assisted evacuation.
Where should I place a Refuge Point sign? Place it at the refuge location itself and anywhere the route to that location needs to be identified clearly, especially near protected stair lobbies and waiting spaces.
Is this the right option for dark areas? This standard version is better for normally lit spaces. If the area may be dim during an emergency, a photoluminescent alternative is usually the stronger choice.
Why is ISO 7010 E024 useful? It uses a recognised refuge symbol, which helps people understand the sign more quickly across different workplaces and public settings.
