Running Man - Right - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A critical component of emergency exit signage, designed to direct individuals to an exit located to the right.This universally recognised graphic helps people understand the direction of egress instantly, regardless of language or literacy level.

You will typically find this sign in public, commercial, and institutional buildings such as schools, shopping malls, office complexes, hospitals, and airports. It is placed in locations where the safest and most direct route to an emergency exit requires turning or proceeding to the right. For example, in a corridor where an emergency exit is located down a hallway to the right, this sign would be clearly displayed at decision points.

The main purpose of the Running Man – Right sign is to facilitate fast and safe evacuations in emergency situations like fires, power outages, or hazardous material spills. The sign is often illuminated or made from photoluminescent materials so it remains visible even in low light or smoky conditions. This visibility is crucial in high-stress situations where time is limited and confusion is likely.

These signs also ensure compliance with building safety regulations and fire codes, which require clear, visible, and accurate directional exit signage. The Running Man – Right sign plays a vital role in guiding occupants safely out of a building, minimising risk and reducing the chance of injury during evacuations. Its proper use demonstrates a commitment to safety and responsible building management.
