EVACUATION PLANS FOR HEALTHCARE
Healthcare premises offer a different set of challenges for evacuation. Our healthcare Evacuation Plans are closely designed to meet the needs of their complex and diverse environments.
We also appreciate the complexity of the buildings and work closely with our clients to determine how the Hospital Evacuation Plans should be segmented and zoned. This ensures that they are easily understood not only by staff, but visitors and members of the public who will be unfamiliar with the buildings layout.
We produce evacuation plans in 2D and 3D for the NHS. The level of detail that can be displayed on the plans can vary from the simplistic (call point and exit) through to more complex which may include medical gas isolation, safe refuge, and detailed assembly points.
Our Fire Evacuation Plans and Fire Escape solutions are uniquely scalable to the size of organisation we work with. Our fire escape plans are used in small serviced offices through to large, complex buildings and healthcare estates.
Within the commercial sector, we work with property management companies that have hundreds of managed properties, district and county councils, hospitals and NHS trusts, financial institutions and the leisure industry.
Our process for design and delivery, we try to keep as simple as possible. You can read more about the Evacuation Plan Design process here.
WAY FINDING IN HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENTS
To assist with visitor way finding in complex environments, we can colour code wards and departments within the building.
Using this in conjunction with a correctly oriented floor plan and accurate placement of the you are here marker, make navigation to specific locations or exits a simple task.
Our 3D Evacuation Plans show the layout of the building with a “birds eye" viewpoint.
Way finding can be further simplified by the production of complimentary signage which utilises the same location names, colours and directions. All of which we can design and manufacture.
