HTM Exits - Emergency Escape Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs - Trade Only Supplier
HTM emergency exit safety signs are essential components in healthcare facilities, designed to comply with Health Technical Memorandum (HTM) guidelines. These signs provide clear, highly visible directions to emergency exits, ensuring that patients, staff, and visitors can quickly and safely evacuate in case of an emergency. Given the unique challenges in healthcare environments—such as patients with limited mobility or unfamiliar visitors—these signs play a critical role in guiding everyone to safety efficiently.
One of the key advantages of HTM emergency exit signs is their photoluminescent quality, which allows them to glow brightly in low-light or power outage conditions without needing electrical power. This is crucial during emergencies when smoke, darkness, or electrical failures might impair visibility. The consistent glow ensures exit routes remain visible and easy to follow, reducing panic and confusion and helping maintain orderly evacuations.
Compliance with HTM standards ensures that emergency exit signs meet strict requirements for size, brightness, placement, and durability specific to healthcare settings. These standards also take into account infection control and the need for signs to withstand frequent cleaning and sanitization. Using HTM-approved signs helps healthcare providers meet regulatory requirements and demonstrate their commitment to patient and staff safety.
Finally, HTM emergency exit safety signs contribute to a safer healthcare environment by supporting rapid evacuation and minimising risk during emergencies. Clear, reliable signage helps protect vulnerable individuals and facilitates swift, organised responses by emergency personnel. This enhances overall safety and confidence in the facility’s emergency preparedness.

Why get safety signs printed by Caledonia Signs?
1. Regulatory Compliance One of the primary reasons to have safety signs professionally printed is to ensure compliance with UK laws. The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 require that specific safety signs be used in workplaces to prevent accidents and injuries. Caledonia Signs understand these requirements and ensure your signs meet legal standards, including adherence to the BS EN ISO 7010 format for safety symbols. Adhering to the BS EN ISO 7010 format is crucial because it ensures safety signs are universally recognised and understood. The standard uses clearly defined symbols that have been tested for visibility and comprehension, making them effective even in high-stress situations or for individuals who do not speak the local language. This helps prevent accidents by enabling quick and correct responses to potential hazards. Many "pop up printers" don't fully understand the importance of ISO 7010.
