Exit and Fire Safety | Sign, Tags, Labels, Extinguishers and more

Exit, fire & evacuation policies are mandated by OSHA, thus necessary for every business.  Emedco helps you to create an exit, fire & evacuation system above and beyond what is expected by OSHA, giving you an edge on safety in any emergency situation. First and foremost, you must place Exit Signs above exit doors.  For a money-saving “green” option, choose Emedco’s SuperGlo signs, the safest glow-in-the-dark material on the market – it glows for 30 hours without electricity. More essential items are fire extinguishers.  Choose the extinguisher that could best extinguish a fire that may start at your facility, for example, don’t buy a fire extinguisher for oil/grease fires when you’re in an office with electrical cords and paper. Remember to mark your fire extinguishers or equipment with bold signs or labels so they will be easily found in an emergency. Other products that will help your employees evacuate the building safely are emergency lighting units, glow markers – including anti-slip glow markers, emergency procedure centers, and flashlights. Emergency lighting units light up when electricity goes out while flashlights can be placed near stairwells or emergency procedure centers. Glow markers can guide employees along your pre-determined evacuation routes and anti-slip glow markers add safety to slippery areas along the route. The main point to remember when building your emergency system is to ensure all employees are familiar with the system and have practiced it. Emedco fills in gaps in existing exit, fire & evacuation systems to make your facility as safe as possible for effective emergency planning.
