Imagine managing or working in an employment environment where all the light available is made by hydroelectric power. There are no windows, so no natural light is available.
Your shift is just about to end and there is a power outage. Blackout, total darkness sweeps through your work area. Your employees are all chatting and calmly discussing the situation. Someone is saying, “Just wait, the lights will return in a minute.”
One minute, three minutes, ten minutes pass by and nothing happens. A low level of anxiety and panic begins to build. The darkness begins to close in on everyone.
The whispers turn to heightened chatter. The room begins to experience a temperature change, people start moving around in the completely black space bumping into things and losing patience. Your employees are looking to you for guidance and support.
You ask yourself, what was that last safety meeting about? “Photoluminescent egress pathway markings and custom signage.” You visualize the “to do list” sitting on your desk with this entry: approval of lighted access signs and pathways to exit doors - urgent.
You’re a day too late! Don’t delay, this scenario could happen to you!
Workplace health and safety has continued to develop guidelines, which have created safer, healthier environments for people in public places.
Companies that research, develop and manufacture, efficient and effective safety markings and signs have been challenged to improve their designs and increase their product selection.
A highly effective product on the market is the photoluminescent egress sign and marker system. The next time you are out in a public place like a mall, movie theatre, hospital, nursing home, airplane, office, outdoor walkway or subway take a minute and look at all the markers that are denoting essential items like stairs, lights, fire extinguishers and doorways.
You may be surprised by the high tech look and appeal of these markers and signs.
The best selling feature of a photoluminescent system is the glow in the dark safety feature added to any room, corridor, stairwell or area in which it is used.
With a safety system that lights up in the dark, occupants of residential buildings, hospitals, industrial centres and recreational facilities can all be led to safety in the event of a blackout.
Not only do these safety features look good they “turn on” in a safety crisis. Get “turned on” with photluminescent egress sign and markers systems and don’t get left in the dark.
