Appropriate marking of an industrial hall is an essential element of caring for employee safety. Working in a factory or a logistics center requires compliance with numerous procedures, both general and positions. A common problem is to find space for visual transmission of the most important information. An item can come to the rescue, which is increasingly used to present security or first aid procedures. This element are ... stairs.

Step by step

Many procedures in the industrial facility require taking action ... step by step. Just like on the stairs. An example would be first aid procedures, which include: assessment of the injured person, calling for help or the resuscitation procedure itself. 

Another example is the fire manual. It is also crucial in it to quickly take further activities - launching the alarm, call for the guard, leaving the building, not using the elevator, go to the evacuation place - all these elements that the employee should remember in the event of a fire in the production, warehouse or office space.

Effective remembering

It should be remembered that accidents at work are a non -standard situation for employees, for which it is difficult to prepare during a single training. The need to help or evacuate is a source of stress, which often causes us to start acting irrationally and ineffectively. 

That is why it is so important to remind an employee about applicable procedures. The use of the space on the stairs means that the employee gets to know the applicable schemes step by step, every day when the corridor travels. This increases the chance to remember the procedure and effective, almost instinctive use in a situation when it is necessary. 

Readability and durability

The key aspect in the signage or vertical marking, both in industrial and office space, is readability. This means that the marking must be visible, clear, words should be possible to read at first glance, and the text enriched with pictograms related to the message. 

In a step, in which the instructions include calling an ambulance or fire brigade, a simple phone icon works, which affects the remembering content. The graphics itself should refer to the associations and habits of employees - hence the fire instructions should be red, and the first aid instructions - green. All these details affect the effectiveness, which is the most important.

The last aspect that is worth paying attention to is durability. It should be remembered that the stairs are often used, so the stickers will be exposed to constant contact with shoes passing by people. If we want the product to be effective, it must be resistant to mechanical interactions, including water and mud, which we transfer on the shoes by entering from the outside into the room.

To sum up - stickers for stairs an effective way to provide employees with key instructions that apply in crisis situations. There is no better way of learning than teaching ... step by step.
