Push - Emergency - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

The Push – Emergency sign is used to clearly indicate that a door or mechanism can be opened by pushing in the event of an emergency. This type of sign provides simple, direct instructions to ensure people act quickly and correctly during high-stress situations, such as fires, power failures, or evacuations.

You’ll typically find this sign near emergency exit doors, panic bars, or emergency release mechanisms in buildings such as offices, hospitals, schools, factories, and shopping centers. It is placed directly on or next to the relevant device or door to ensure maximum visibility when someone needs to act fast.

Using a Push – Emergency sign is important because it eliminates uncertainty about how to operate a door or emergency system. In critical situations, people may panic or hesitate if they’re unsure of how to proceed—this sign gives them the clear instruction they need to respond quickly and safely.

Additionally, it supports compliance with fire safety regulations and building codes, which require that emergency exits and devices be clearly marked with operating instructions. The sign improves overall emergency preparedness by ensuring that safety mechanisms are not only in place but also clearly understood by all occupants.
