The minimum size of the evacuation diagram with only minimum elements shall be A4 (that is, 210 mm × 297 mm) with a pictorial representation of the floor or area, which shall be as a minimum: 200 mm × 150 mm or an area of 30,000 mm². Optional elements The following additional information should be considered by the emergency planning committee for inclusion on the evacuation diagram: direction of opening of doors on designated exits north, south, east and west first aid stations and kits (denoted by a white cross on a green background) hazardous chemical store spill response kits emergency information as documented in the emergency management plan NOTE: For example, emergency telephone numbers, emergency preparedness and response procedures, fire orders, and procedures for use of lifts in an evacuation during a fire emergency (where regulatory approval has been obtained). paths of travel, coloured green specialised evacuation devices, including stairwell evacuation devices, if provided fire and smoke doors hydrants, which shall be in red.

Evacuation route and assembly areas The evacuation route from the facility to the assembly area must: be easy to follow and take you to the assembly area be free of obstructions and other hazards (for example, tree branches and so on) have doors and gates easily opened (preferably in direction of travel away from the facility) provide another way around the facility should the route be blocked by the fire. There shall be two (2) assembly areas for each facility, a primary area and a secondary area. When determining the location of both assembly areas, consider the following: Distance of travel to the assembly area: it must not be too far away. Try not to cross roads or streets, especially those that are busy. The emergency services will arrive at the facility using the street and therefore could become hazardous to cross
