AS 3745-2010 provides the framework for emergency planning in Australian workplaces. One of its key requirements is the installation of compliant evacuation diagrams.

AS 3745 evacuation diagrams help building occupants understand:

• Where they are located
• Where emergency exits are
• Where fire equipment is located
• Where to assemble after evacuation

These diagrams must be easy to read and accurately reflect the building layout.

A compliant AS 3745 evacuation diagram should display:

• Exit routes
• Fire extinguishers
• Hose reels
• Assembly points
• “You Are Here” location
• Emergency contact details

These diagrams should be placed throughout the building so occupants can familiarise themselves with emergency procedures before an incident occurs.

Regular updates are necessary to ensure compliance, especially after renovations or layout changes.

Using professional AS 3745 evacuation diagrams helps businesses meet their legal obligations while improving occupant safety.
