Everything you need to know about escape route marking

What is escape route marking?

Escape route marking is a central component of the operational and public safety concept. It ensures that people can find the nearest exit quickly and safely in the event of an emergency, such as a fire, power outage or hazardous substances. Standard-compliant escape route marking can save lives in an emergency.

What do they look like?

Escape route signs primarily include green and white escape signs in accordance with DIN EN ISO 7010, which clearly and unambiguously indicate escape directions, emergency exits and escape routes. It is important that the escape route signs can be reliably recognized even in poor visibility, darkness or smoke – e.g. through photoluminescent materials or illuminated signs.

What are they for?

Effective escape route marking not only includes the marking itself, but also its strategic placement: at doors, corridors, stairs and all relevant points that need to be passed in the event of an evacuation. It is required by law in many areas – e.g. in workplaces, public buildings, hotels, schools and industrial facilities.

Regularly checking and updating escape route signs is just as important as installing them. This is the only way to ensure that it remains permanently effective and complies with legal requirements.

    Safety signs & information signs – your basis for a safe working environment

    Whether industrial hall, construction site, office or warehouse: wherever people work, one thing is particularly important – safety. Safety signs and information signs are a central component of effective occupational safety. They provide orientation, minimize risks and meet important legal requirements.

     

    Clear marking – clear responsibility

    Safety signs are used to quickly and clearly indicate hazards, instructions, prohibitions or escape routes. They are standardized in accordance with DIN EN ISO 7010 and uniform throughout Europe – so that everyone understands them, regardless of language or background knowledge. This increases safety for employees, customers, suppliers and visitors alike.

    Signs supplement these symbols with specific information. Texts such as “Caution, hot surface”, “Only enter with hearing protection” or “Keep emergency exit clear” provide clear instructions and promote safe behavior in everyday life.

     

    Why safety signage is so important

    • Avoid accidents
      Clear warning signs help to identify hazards at an early stage – before an accident occurs.
    • Act quickly in an emergency
      Escape route and first aid signs provide reliable guidance in an emergency – every second counts.
    • Comply with legal regulations
      Safety signage is mandatory. The Workplace Ordinance (ArbStättV) and the Technical Rules for Workplaces (ASR A1.3) define where and how signs must be placed.
    • Creating trust
      Visibly paying attention to safety shows responsibility – this strengthens the trust of employees and outsiders in your company.
