The Emergency Evacuation Lift sign is used to clearly identify a lift (elevator) that has been specifically designed and designated for use during an emergency evacuation. Unlike standard lifts, which must not be used in a fire, an emergency evacuation lift is equipped with special safety features—such as fire-resistant shafts, backup power, and fire service controls—allowing it to safely transport people, including those with mobility impairments, during emergencies.
You’ll typically find this sign in hospitals, care homes, high-rise buildings, offices, transport hubs, and other public facilities where accessibility is a critical concern. It is placed at or near the designated evacuation lift, in lift lobbies, and along escape routes so that building occupants and emergency personnel can quickly identify it.
Using an Emergency Evacuation Lift sign is important because it clearly distinguishes safe-to-use evacuation lifts from regular lifts, which can become dangerous in a fire. The sign provides reassurance and direction, especially for individuals who cannot use stairs, such as wheelchair users, the elderly, or those with medical conditions.
This sign also supports compliance with fire safety regulations and accessibility laws, ensuring that evacuation plans accommodate all occupants. By clearly marking emergency evacuation lifts, building managers help ensure safe, efficient evacuations and demonstrate a commitment to inclusive emergency preparedness.
