WAREHOUSE SAFETY

Warehouse Emergency Egress Map

A warehouse emergency egress map must make long travel routes readable from a posted sign. This plan starts on the warehouse floor, reaches a protected cross-aisle, and then leads to west or east final exits. The not-an-exit marker helps prevent a common source of confusion in large spaces. Fire extinguishers and the outdoor assembly point are also identified. Adapt room dimensions, aisles, and exits to the actual facility, and avoid treating the map as a substitute for a site survey. The responsible safety team should verify that routes remain usable and comply with the applicable requirements. Keep the posted drawing current whenever the layout, equipment, or approved route changes.
