These signs
conform to BS
ISO, 7010:2011 -
Graphical symbols
- Safety colours
and safety signs.
Guidance for their
use is given in
BS 5499 Part 4 -
Code of practice
for escape route
signing. Any existing
“text only signs” do
not comply with the
Health and Safety
(Safety Signs and
Signals) Regulation
1996 and must be
replaced or have
a running man
pictogram positioned
alongside them.
The Primary evacuation
route is the
normally used access
to a place of safety
while the Secondary
route is often not the
normal access route
but can be used as
an alternative escape
to a place of safety
in the event of an
emergency.
Graphical symbols
only can be used to
upgrade text only
signs or where text
may not be appropriate.
