Exit Sign 600 x 480mm - Black on White Plastic Plate

This is not an emergency exit sign

Stated plainly, because it matters: this non-illuminated black-on-white EXIT plate is not an emergency exit sign and does not meet NCC or AS/NZS 2293 requirements. The emergency exit signs Australian buildings must have are green with a white running-man pictogram, carry a directional arrow where the sign sits off the line of the exit, and are illuminated - either mains LED with battery backup or photoluminescent - so they remain visible for at least 90 minutes after a power failure. They are also subject to a scheduled testing regime. If you are marking a required means of egress, you need that product and an electrician, not this plate. What this sign is genuinely good for is everything else: labelling an internal door, a gate, a yard exit, a rear loading door, or wayfinding in back-of-house areas where no statutory exit signage applies.

Where to mount it

At the door or gate it identifies, at a height where it clears people and stock, and visible from the approach rather than only once you are in front of it. Check the sight line after installation - signs disappear behind propped doors, stacked pallets and new partitions more often than anyone expects. For reference, Australian workplace safety signs follow the colour conventions in AS 1319: white on green marks emergency information, white on red marks fire equipment, blue discs carry mandatory instructions and a red annulus with a diagonal slash marks a prohibition. A plain black-on-white plate like this one sits outside those hazard classes, which is consistent with it being an identification sign rather than a safety sign.

Common uses

Warehouses, workshops, factories, schools, community halls, yards and back-of-house corridors. Pair it with your other site signage - a first aid sign at the kit and an assembly point sign at the muster area - or browse the wider first aid supplies range at MediBC.
