June this year is the 23rd National "Safety Production Month"
The theme is "Everyone talks about safety, everyone knows how to respond to emergencies."
- Smooth the passage of life"
In public places such as shopping malls, supermarkets, cinemas, etc
It is not uncommon to see a sign with the words "Running Little Green Man".
It's what we often call an evacuation sign
And this "little green man" is Mr. Pickto
Due to the clean and clear lines, the pattern is clear
And green generally represents "safety"
So in 1987
Mr. Pickto, the little green man
It has become a safe export mark used all over the world
As one of the types of safe evacuation facilities, evacuation signs are an important part of the "unimpeded passage of life".
Its main function is to help people identify the location and direction of evacuation in time in case of emergency situations such as fires, and quickly evacuate smoothly along the illuminated evacuation indication signs to avoid casualties. Today, let's get to know it!
Evacuation signs
Evacuation signs
Evacuation indication signs refer to illuminated signs set up on the ground or near the ground wall of evacuation walkways and evacuation routes to provide evacuation instructions for the safe evacuation of personnel.
Evacuation indication signs should be set up in accordance with relevant national fire protection technical standards and specifications, and should use lighting evacuation indication signs and safety exit signs that meet the requirements of the code to indicate the evacuation direction.
Common evacuation signs
Evacuation signs are usually divided into those with and without arrows.
Evacuation signs with arrows are generally installed on the ground, evacuation walkway or corner, on the wall of a position less than 1 meter from the ground, and in the event of a fire, you can find a safe exit by following the direction of the arrow.
Safety exit signs without arrows are generally installed above the exit door.
The meaning of the different arrows
● Indicate that the "safety exit" is ahead;
● Indicate "Safety Exit" at the bottom left;
● Indicate "Safety Exit" on the top left;
● Indicate that the "safety exit" is on the right;
●Indicate that the safety exit can be reached either left or right;
●Indicate that the safety exit is ahead, and this sign should be set up in the direction of evacuation, and generally hung above the lobby and evacuation passage.

●Safety evacuation signs should not be blocked and should not affect normal traffic;
●Fire emergency evacuation sign lamps and lanterns should be fixed on non-combustible walls or non-combustible decoration materials, and should not be installed on doors, windows or other movable objects;
●The direction indication sign graphic of the evacuation indication sign should point to the nearest evacuation exit or safety exit;
●For the evacuation indication signs set on the wall, the center line of the sign should not be greater than 1m from the indoor floor (the parts that are not easy to install can be installed in the upper part), the spacing of the phosphorescent self-luminous signs should not be greater than 5m, and the spacing of the light evacuation indication signs should not be greater than 20m (set in the underground building, should not be greater than 15m);
●Evacuation indication signs set on the ground should be continuously installed along the evacuation aisle or main evacuation route; When intermittently set, the spacing of phosphorescent self-luminous signs should not be greater than 1.5m, and the spacing of light-type evacuation indication signs should not be greater than 3m;
●The light evacuation indication sign shall be provided with a protective cover made of glass or other non-combustible materials;
●The light evacuation indication sign can use the battery as the backup power supply, and its continuous power supply time should not be less than 20min (set in high-rise civil buildings and underground buildings with a height of more than 100m, should not be less than 30min). After the working power supply is powered off, it should be able to automatically connect the backup power supply.
