How Our Evacuation Mapping Process Creates Code Ready Site Safety Maps

We start by getting your floorplans(either CAD files, scanned blueprints or drawings) placed into our software. We redraw your plans using color to highlight the hallways and exits while at the same time simplifying and clarifying your facility plans. We clearly show all walls, doors and exits and then send a first draft to you for review. With this review we ask for you to verify the accuracy of the drawing and make all corrections and revisions. We customize each of our maps and ask for your input on what icons you would like to add(most include fire extinguishers and pull stations) this varies depending on the type of facility that you have. We work with you to determine the posting locations for the maps and their evacuation routes. You then send back the revised file and we make all the revisions and additions and then send you a final proof for approval. Once approved the final digital files are sent to you unless you choose to have Safety Map print, laminate or frame your maps.
 
What's the difference between a map and a posting?
Safety Map considers a map as one floor of one building and a posting as one copy of that map with a unique U-R-Here bubble and evacuation route.
 
How many postings do I need?
We provide up to six postings for each map created, which is usually more than are needed on a single floor. Additional postings can be purchased if your facility needs more than the six included postings.
 
Where should the maps be posted?
Your completed Safety Maps should be posted throughout each floor of your facility. Some of the more common posting locations include: residence hall and classroom doors, elevator lobbies, exit stairwells, in the break room, conference rooms and anywhere that evacuation routing clarifications are necessary.
 
What does the price include?
The price includes the digital delivery of evacuation maps with up to six postings or copies - each with it's own U-R-Here bubble and evacuation routing arrow.
 
What kind of framing should I use and how are they put up?
Framing is a personal decision that depends on the location for mounting the maps and the facility that they are hung in. For schools, where there is a higher incidence of the maps being tampered with, we suggest either laminating the maps and hanging them with double stick tape or purchasing our acrylic frames using one way screws.
