Emergency Exit Only Signage

Emergency exit only signage makes it clear that a door is reserved strictly for evacuation, helping you protect the escape route while preventing everyday use. You should install these signs on the door face at eye level and on the approach to the exit, especially at rear doors, side exits and controlled areas where routine access must be restricted but emergency use must remain immediate.

By displaying emergency exit only signs, you keep routes available for their intended purpose, discourage misuse and maintain a clear, reliable escape path. You reduce disruption to your site, avoid doors being propped open and ensure exits function properly when needed. The benefit to you is stronger control over access, improved safety and confidence that your emergency exits are ready to perform under pressure.
