Remember the sign

My friend told me that she let three of her old relatives to accompany her to the office. Her plan was to get in the office and leave them in the lobby, sign the documents that she needed to sign, and then go out with them again to the mall where she would be shopping for them. She left her relatives near the Exit Sign where she asked them to wait for her. When she went out of her office, she was lectured by one of her old relatives about the importance of a fire exit. And she was questioned about why their office was blocking one of the fire exits of the building. Good for the relative that she knows about the importance of fire exits.

I believe there are ordinances or even laws that states that each building or establishment should have fire exits with the proper exit signs at the top of the door. Everyone should comply. Fire, earthquake, bomb threats and other unexpected emergencies happen. We do not want to be trapped inside the building with no means of escape, right?

EXIT SIGNS are very important. They serve as the lighted beam that we all follow to lead us to safety. That’s why during fire drills and other building emergency exercises, we are reminded of the locations of various fire exits in every floor of the building. We are reminded that we cannot use the elevator and will rely solely on fire exits.

Now, if you are from the building administration and your building has no proper exit signs, make sure that you go to Energy Star right away, check out the features that your exit sign should have, and be guided properly.
