Clearly Mark Assisted Rescue Access Points Inside and Outside Your Facility
In healthcare facilities, providing clear signage for assisted rescue is critical—both indoors on exit doors leading to safe exterior areas and, where applicable, outdoors to guide evacuees and emergency responders. Our exterior area for assisted rescue signs are designed to meet these needs by marking the paths and access points clearly and compliantly.
What Is an Exterior Area for Assisted Rescue?
An exterior area for assisted rescue is a code-recognized outdoor space where people unable to use stairs or evacuate independently can safely wait for help. These areas are especially important in:
Assisted living communities and nursing homes
Urgent care and outpatient clinics
Dental offices and private practices in multi-story buildings
Any healthcare facility where interior refuge spaces aren’t practical or accessible
