Staircase Must be Kept Clear - Floor Graphic - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Staircase Must Be Kept Clear floor graphics are used to ensure that stairways remain free of obstructions for safe and quick access. Keeping staircases clear is crucial for emergency evacuation routes, daily movement, and preventing trips or falls. These graphics serve as a direct reminder at the point of entry or nearby areas that blocking the stairs is prohibited, promoting safety and compliance with fire and building regulations.

By placing the message on the floor near staircases, it becomes highly visible to everyone approaching or using the stairs, making it harder to ignore compared to signs placed higher up. The bold lettering and clear instructions reinforce the importance of keeping these critical pathways accessible at all times, especially during emergencies when every second counts.

These floor graphics should be used in workplaces, public buildings, residential complexes, schools, hospitals, and any facility with staircases that serve as essential routes for evacuation or regular traffic. They are especially important in busy or clutter-prone areas where people might be tempted to store items or block the stairway.

For maximum effectiveness, the graphics should be placed directly in front of stair entrances or landings, on flat, clean surfaces using durable, anti-slip materials. This placement ensures clear visibility and helps maintain safe, unobstructed access to staircases at all times.

We recommend the use of primer, edge sealer and floor cleaning fluids for improved adhesion.
