Assembly Point - Arrow Up / Straight On - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

The Assembly Point – Arrow Up / Straight On sign is used to direct building occupants toward the designated assembly point during an emergency evacuation, indicating that they should proceed straight ahead or continue moving forward to reach the safe gathering area.

You’ll typically find this sign placed along evacuation routes in offices, schools, factories, shopping centers, hospitals, and other public or commercial buildings, especially at points where people need reassurance that they are heading in the right direction toward the assembly point.

Using this sign is important because it helps guide evacuees efficiently and confidently to the correct location, reducing confusion and preventing people from wandering off or heading toward unsafe areas. Clear directional signs help maintain order and speed up accountability during emergencies.

Additionally, the sign supports compliance with health and safety regulations by ensuring that evacuation routes are clearly marked and that occupants can quickly find the safe assembly area, which is critical for headcounts and further emergency procedures.
