Evacuation
Diagrams.
In NSW, AS 3745-2010 is the recognised benchmark for workplace emergency planning. Outdated or incorrectly oriented diagrams can create confusion and may indicate that a facility's emergency arrangements need review.
NSW Compliance Update:
Keep diagrams aligned with the current building layout, emergency arrangements and applicable NSW fire safety requirements. Site verification helps provide clear evidence for reviews and inspections.

Important Considerations.
Australian Standard AS 3745-2010 sets out important criteria for evacuation diagrams. Reviewing the details below can help facilities keep their emergency information clear, current and useful.
Statutory Requirement (AS 3745)
AS 3745-2010 provides the recognised benchmark for evacuation diagrams in Australian workplaces. Clear, current diagrams support effective emergency communication and help facilities demonstrate that their emergency arrangements have been considered.
The 5-Year Expiry Rule
AS 3745-2010 provides a five-year review benchmark. If your diagrams were installed before 2021, it is sensible to arrange a review to confirm that the layout, building use and emergency arrangements are still accurately represented.
Orientation Accuracy
Diagrams should be oriented to the specific location of the user ("You Are Here"). Generic or incorrectly oriented maps can cause confusion during an emergency, so site verification is an important quality check.
Material & Placement
AS 3745 dictates specific minimum sizes (A3 for general, A4 for certain small areas) and mounting heights to ensure visibility for all occupants, including those with disabilities.

The Cost of Non-Compliance
"I see it every week: business owners think a floor plan is an evacuation diagram. It isn't. AS 3745 maps require a specific symbols set, specific orientation, and 5-year certification. If yours aren't certified, your WHS policy is currently invalid."
