An escape route plan is not just a simple sketch of a building, it is a life-saving guide in emergency situations. We show what distinguishes escape route plans and what you need to bear in mind when having an escape route plan drawn up.
What is an escape route plan?
An escape route plan is a structured document that is displayed in clearly visible places in buildings. It provides a simplified overview of escape routes, other life-saving locations and first aid facilities. In the event of a fire, accident or other hazardous situation, it enables people in the building to react appropriately and leave the building quickly and safely.
Purpose of rescue route plans
The main purpose of an escape route plan is to provide orientation for people in dangerous situations and to enable an orderly evacuation. By clearly showing escape routes, emergency exits and assembly points, the plan helps to prevent panic and minimize the risk of injury. It also provides information on the correct behavior in the event of a fire and first aid facilities.
Have an escape route plan drawn up
The creation of escape route plans is subject to various legal regulations and standards. According to Section 4 of the Workplace Ordinance and the Technical Rules for Workplaces (ASR A1.3, A2.2 and A2.3), escape and rescue plans are mandatory in public areas and workplaces. In addition, standards such as DIN ISO 23601 and DIN EN ISO 7010 set out clear requirements for the design, content and symbols of the plans.
