Keep Clear Exit from Emergency Escape Route - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

“Keep Clear Exit from Emergency Escape Route” signs are crucial because they ensure that emergency exits and escape routes remain unobstructed at all times. In an emergency, especially during a fire, every second counts, and blocked exits can delay evacuation, cause panic, or even lead to injuries or fatalities. This sign serves as a clear reminder to keep these vital pathways free from any obstacles such as equipment, furniture, or stored goods.

These signs help maintain a safe and efficient evacuation process by alerting everyone—employees, visitors, and contractors—not to block or store items near emergency exits. Clear escape routes are essential not only for safe evacuation but also to provide emergency responders with unimpeded access to the building.

The signs should be installed directly adjacent to emergency exit doors, along escape routes, and at access points leading to emergency exits. Common locations include workplaces, schools, hospitals, public buildings, warehouses, and anywhere emergency escape routes exist.

Using “Keep Clear Exit from Emergency Escape Route” signs supports fire safety regulations and promotes good safety culture. They help ensure escape routes are always accessible, enhancing overall building safety and preparedness for emergencies.
