School & Campus Safety
A safer campus, by design.
Education-focused signage covering fire safety, assembly points, lab hazard warnings, first aid and clear campus wayfinding.
Why this matters — School fire-drill studies show evacuation time drops 35% when photoluminescent escape signage is added at floor level (NFPA research).
The business problem
Schools must protect children with clear evacuation routes, fire safety, lab hazard warnings and assembly points — without intimidating signage.
International & Indian standards that apply
These are the codes an auditor, fire marshal or safety officer will check against.
| Standard | Requirement |
|---|---|
| NBC 2016 Part 4 Educational Occupancy | India National Building Code — exit width, fire equipment and evacuation signage for schools. |
| NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code) | Educational occupancy egress marking, exit spacing and assembly point requirements. |
| CBSE Safety Manual (2021) | Mandatory PPE, fire, laboratory hazard and evacuation signage for all CBSE-affiliated schools. |
| ISO 7010 | Universal pictograms — critical for pre-literate students. |

Material & mounting guidance
- Photoluminescent exit + escape route in every corridor and stairwell (NBC + NFPA best practice).
- Assembly point signs at playground boundary on 3 m poles — visible from every classroom window.
- Colour-coded floor-line system (green = exit, yellow = caution, red = do-not-enter) for pre-reading students.
- Bilingual (English + regional language) signage at all safety points.
Common audit failures
Fire drill conducted but escape signage still text-only on walls — kids look at teachers, not signs.
Assembly point on the same side as the building — no safe stand-off distance.
Chemistry lab has PPE mandate on the door but not at each workstation.
Missing 'You Are Here' floor plans at stairwell landings.
