Päästeohutusmärgid

Päästeohutusmärgid are safety signs used in Estonia to indicate emergency exits, fire safety equipment, and other important safety information. These signs are crucial for ensuring the safety of individuals in buildings and public spaces by clearly communicating critical information during emergency situations.

The design and placement of päästeohutusmärgid are governed by Estonian regulations, which align with international standards for safety signage. These regulations specify the colors, shapes, symbols, and dimensions of the signs to ensure they are easily recognizable and understood by everyone. Common colors include green for emergency exits and escape routes, and red for fire safety equipment like fire extinguishers and alarms. Symbols often depict running figures for exits, fire hoses, or alarm bells.

Päästeohutusmärgid are typically placed at strategic locations, such as above doorways, along corridors, and near fire safety equipment. Their purpose is to guide people to safety during emergencies like fires or earthquakes, and to alert them to potential hazards or the location of safety devices. The visibility and legibility of these signs are paramount, and they are often illuminated or made of photoluminescent material to be visible even in low-light conditions or during power outages. Regular inspection and maintenance of these signs are essential to ensure they remain effective and compliant with safety standards.
