Exit For Emergency Use Only Sign - NHS Estates fire safety signage
The NHS Estates Exit For Emergency Use Only Sign is a safe condition sign for NHS estate buildings, combining the green and white running-man pictogram with a flame symbol and "Exit For emergency use only" wording, marking a door that should be used only in an emergency rather than for everyday access. It is BS EN ISO 7010 compliant and available in three sizes and five materials, so it can be matched to the mounting surface and the viewing distance.
