An up-to-date and compliant escape and rescue plan in accordance with DIN ISO 23601 is essential to enable rapid orientation in the event of a fire. It provides a clear representation of the building and includes information on escape routes, life-saving equipment such as fire extinguishers and hydrants, as well as meeting points for evacuation.
The display of these plans is a legal requirement for companies in accordance with the ASR (Technical Rules for Workplaces) and the ArbStättV (Workplace Ordinance).
A complete escape and rescue plan includes a floor plan of the building in the form of a detailed and overview plan, instructions on what to do in an emergency and further information about the plan creator or the date the plan was created.
Good to know: DIN ISO 23601 is the basic regulation for an escape and rescue plan.
Additional regulations also apply to escape and rescue plans with regard to font size, color, format and background to ensure optimal legibility and visibility. In addition, it must be clearly recognizable from which point of view people are looking at the plan (including viewing direction). Specific requirements for safety signs in accordance with DIN EN ISO 7010 must also be taken into account.
Important: It is very important that the plans are updated when structural changes are made and that they are displayed in strategic locations such as main entrances, corridors and stairwells.
