This is why it is imperative that each evacuation diagram is correctly orientated, simple and easy to read

Where Should These Diagrams be Located?
The location of the evacuation diagrams is determined by your Emergency Planning Committee, or a building fire safety advisor can determine the number of diagrams for you.
How Often do These Diagrams Need to be Updated?
Evacuation diagrams must be updated as soon as any modifications to the building’s layout or firefighting equipment occurs. Evacuation diagrams should be reviewed and revised every 5 years and the validity date updated.
