Emergency Evacuation Maps & Emergency Flipcharts Printing

Workplace emergencies require clear instructions that staff can quickly understand and follow. Printed safety tools such as emergency evacuation maps and emergency procedure flipcharts provide immediate guidance during fires, medical incidents, evacuations and security threats.

These materials are widely used in offices, warehouses, schools, hospitals and public buildings to ensure emergency procedures are clearly displayed and easily accessible when they are needed most.

Our emergency printing solutions include:

• Emergency Evacuation Maps

• Wall Mounted Emergency Flipcharts

• Emergency Procedures Desk Flipcharts

Each option provides a practical way to display emergency instructions and improve workplace preparedness.

Emergency Evacuation Map

An emergency evacuation map (also known as an evacuation diagram) shows the layout of a building and the safest route to exit during an emergency.

These diagrams are typically installed throughout a workplace so occupants can quickly identify evacuation routes and emergency equipment.

Emergency evacuation maps normally display:

• A “You Are Here” location marker

• Evacuation routes and exits

• Fire safety equipment

• Assembly areas

• Emergency contact instructions including Dial 000

Clear graphics, colour-coded symbols and directional arrows allow occupants to quickly understand how to safely leave a building during an emergency.

Evacuation diagrams are commonly printed on laminated stock or synthetic materials to ensure durability and visibility in workplace environments.

Many workplaces install evacuation diagrams as part of their emergency management planning, often aligned with AS 3745 planning for emergencies in facilities.

Emergency Flipcharts

An emergency procedures flipchart is a quick reference safety guide that outlines the correct actions to take during different types of emergencies.

These flipcharts are typically top bound using wire binding, similar to a wall calendar. The binding includes a calendar hanger, allowing the flipchart to be easily mounted on a wall.

Each page of the flipchart covers a specific emergency procedure and is printed with staggered page lengths, creating a tabbed effect that allows users to quickly locate the relevant procedure.

Common procedures included in emergency flipcharts are:

• Fire or smoke emergency

• Medical emergency

• Internal emergencies

• External emergencies

• Evacuation procedures

• Armed hold-up or personal threat

• Bomb threat or suspicious object

• Fire equipment usage charts

The tabbed layout ensures the correct page can be found quickly during high-stress situations when every second matters.

Emergency Procedures Desk Flipchart

A desk flipchart provides the same emergency procedures as a wall flipchart but in a freestanding format designed for desks, counters and workstations.

These flipcharts use a folded base that forms a triangular stand, allowing the chart to sit upright like a desktop calendar.

Emergency desk flipcharts are ideal for locations where staff need quick access to procedures without leaving their workstation.

Common placements include:

• Reception desks

• Security stations

• Control rooms

• School administration offices

• Hospital reception areas

Because the flipchart remains visible and easily accessible, staff can quickly flip to the relevant emergency procedure when required.

Custom Emergency Procedure Printing

Emergency communication materials can be fully customised to include site-specific information such as:

• Building layouts and evacuation routes

• Emergency assembly points

• Workplace contact details

• Site-specific procedures

• Safety icons and diagrams

• Company branding

Custom printed emergency materials help ensure procedures are accurate, clear and relevant to each workplace environment.
