Urgent Fire Safety

An exit sign is a pictogram or short text in a public facility (such as a building, aircraft, or boat) denoting the location of the closest emergency exit to be used in case of fire or other emergency that requires rapid evacuation. Most relevant codes (fire, building, health, or safety) require exit signs to be permanently lit at all times.

Exit signs are intended to be absolutely unmistakable and understandable to anyone. In the past, this generally meant exit signs that show the word "EXIT".
