Avoid obstructions

Do you need panoramic or perpendicular signage?

Emergency and evacuation signage is essential in any building — whether it's a company, school, shop, or condominium. More than a legal requirement, it is a vital tool for saving lives and ensuring everyone knows how to act in situations of risk, such as fires, explosions, or power failures.
Why is emergency signage so important?
In situations of panic, people tend to lose their sense of direction and act on instinct. This is where signage makes all the difference: it guides the safest path to the exit, indicates the location of extinguishers, alarms, and fire hydrants, and helps to reduce panic and evacuation time.
Furthermore, correct signage is required by standards such as NP EN ISO 7010 and NBR 13434, which define the standards for escape routes, emergency lighting, and identification of fire-fighting equipment.
Types of safety signage
To ensure a truly safe environment, it is crucial to know the main types of signage:
- 🟩 Evacuation signage – Indicates escape routes, emergency exits, and meeting points.
- 🔴 Fire-fighting equipment signage – Shows where extinguishers, fire hydrants, and alarms are located.
- ⚠️ Prohibition and warning signage – Warns about risks and reinforces safety rules, such as "No smoking" or "Electrical hazard."
- 🔆 Photoluminescent signage – Glows in the dark, ensuring visibility even in the event of a power failure.
Advantages of good signage
- Facilitates quick and safe evacuations;
- Reduces panic during emergencies;
-
Allows quick location of first intervention equipment;
- Complies with legal safety standards and avoids fines;
- Enhances the property and demonstrates concern for the safety of customers and employees.
Maintenance is essential
Signage only fulfills its function if it is clearly visible, clean, and correctly installed. It is important to carry out periodic checks and immediately replace any damaged, faded, or misplaced signs.
Conclusion
Investing in emergency signage is investing in the safety, trust, and credibility of your business.
In our online store, you will find photoluminescent signage, extinguishers, stands, and all the necessary safety equipment to keep your space protected and in compliance with Portuguese legislation.
