It is placed in direct view, close to the mechanism it refers to, so that it is immediately visible when quick action is needed.

The Pull "Emergency sign is especially important when the door or device does not operate in the typical way people might expect (such as pulling instead of pushing). In urgent situations, clear signage prevents misuse or delay by providing simple, decisive guidance that anyone can follow - even under pressure.

In addition to improving safety and evacuation efficiency, this sign also helps ensure compliance with fire safety laws and emergency access regulations. Proper labeling of emergency mechanisms is a key part of an effective evacuation plan, helping protect both building occupants and first responders.
