ESCAPE ROUTE MARKINGS

Escape Route Markings

Real Safe Escape Route Markers

Emergency situations are worst case scenarios especially when working in high-risk environments in the offshore, industrial and maritime sectors.

When an emergency happens, it is extremely important that escape routes are marked both clearly and safely with route markers because the marking of escape routes has one purpose only: Rapid evacuation to a safe area!

Real Safe Escape route markers is the award-winning, effective FRP floor marking solution for emergency exits and emergency escape routes.

The solution also solves an important issue, which is poorly visible escape routes on offshore installations, which can lead to fatal emergency situations.

Our escape route markings are permanently yellow and anti-slip. Black arrows are embedded in the surface to indicate the direction of evacuation. They are durable and easy to install all year round, in all weather conditions.

What are the benefits?

Real Safety escape route markings provide several benefits including:

Clear direction – By clearly marking escape routes, workers can quickly and easily find their way to designated muster points in the event of an emergency
Permanent safety feature – Painted markers quickly fade. That is not an issue with Real Safe Escape markers as these are embedded into the surface.
Reduced Risk – We have encapsulated sharp aluminum oxide grits into the surface to provide optimum friction – to prevent people slipping when stepping on the markers.
High visibility – Our escape route markers are typically yellow with black arrows embedded into the surface to improve visibility – even in challenging environments.

Safe Escape Route Markers were developed with our largest customer Total Energies. We had to find a solution which could replace the very costly and unsafe practice of painting escape routes onto gratings and walkways. This revolutionary solution worked so well that it is now included in their Technical Standard Manual as the Best Practice method for marking escape routes to the point of evacuation.

Where do you use Safe Escape Route Markings?

Real Safe Escape route markings are used to guide people towards emergency exits and muster points in the event of an emergency such as fire or other hazard – particularly in high-risk environments in the offshore, industrial and maritime sectors.

They can be installed on top of any existing surface.

Real Safe Escape route markings application

Offshore platforms
Oil and gas facilities
Wind energy
Construction
Marine industry

Reducing accidents – statistics

The oil and gas industry is subject to a range of hazards, including fire, explosions, toxic gas release and structural failures. In the event of an emergency, having clear and visible escape route markings is critical to ensuring that workers are able to evacuate the facility quickly and safely.

Regulatory bodies such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) require offshore facilities to have adequate escape route markings in place to ensure the safety of workers. Failure to comply with these regulations can results in serious consequences, including:

Legal liability
Regulatory fines and penalties
Damage reputation

Escape routes markers therefore play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of workers specifically on offshore facilities. Without clear markers, workers may become disoriented or lost, which can result in delays and potentially life-threatening situations.

It is also important that workers are fully trained to understand and follow them in the event of an emergency.

How do I install Real Safe Escape route markers?

Please view our installation guide for Real Safe Escape Route Markers here.

Our Escape Route Markers are non-load bearing and are pre-fabricated for a quick and easy installation on existing substrates including concrete, metal and fiberglass, steel, composite grating, wood and tile.

Installations can be done all year round, and in all weather conditions.

If you need help in finding the best solution, please contact us.

How do I maintain and clean Escape route markers?

Regular cleaning keeps the Escape route Markers free of debris and looking new.

Most household methods are suitable. Detergents and mild degreasers work well too – provided that they are diluted with water and immediately hosed off with water.

For stubborn deposits on the strips, use a stiff bristle brush. High pressure heated water (660 psi, as used in food processing plants) may be used in industrial environments.

How long do Safe Escape route markers last?

A minimum of ten years.

How much does a Safe Escape Route Markers cost?

This depends on the size of the project and requirements. Please contact us for a price.

Is it a sustainable product?

The sustainability of GRP escape route markers depends on several factors such as the manufacturing process, transportation, and end-of-life disposal. Real Safe Escape route markers are durable and long-lasting safety solutions, which reduces the need for frequent replacement.

They can therefore be classed as environmentally friendly to some extent for several reasons:

Low maintenance
Long lifespan
Energy efficient

When installed correctly, the solution lasts for many years, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and repair. Finally, when it comes to end-life disposal, our grp safe escape route markers can be recycled or reused, which reduces waste and conserves resources.

Why are Escape Route Markers important?

They provide a crucial safety upgrade on off-shore and industrial facilities

What materials are used to make Route Markers ?

Real Safe Escape route markers are made from fibreglass-reinforced polymer (FRP), which is a strong and durable material that is resistant to water, chemicals, UV rays and corrosion – making them an ideal choice to improve safety – even in harsh environments.

Integrated into the top surface of the GRP escape route marking are aluminum oxides. The hardness of the aluminum oxides makes it impossible to wear the markers down.

Additionally, our escape signage markings are non-conductive and have low thermal conductivity, making them suitable for use in areas where electrical or thermal hazards are present. They are also resistant to corrosion, moisture and chemicals.

We offer two grit sizes:

mesh 10 (offshore) mesh 20 (industrial).

The slip resistance level of Real Safety’s solutions are all classified with the highest score of R13.

How do I choose the right Escape Route Markings?

Offshore platforms, ships, and industrial facilities are often large and complex structures that can be difficult to navigate, and choosing the right escape route markings can be critical for ensuring the safety of individuals in emergency situations – including:

Choosing the right material
Identifying the texture and slip resistance rating
Determining the size and color that stands out to increase visibility
Installation method
Assessment of the surrounding environment
Compliance with safety regulations
Cost
