Identify marked safety areas and posted evacuation routes.

Identification should include describing and translating signage and special markings (e.g., floor paint) that identify work and caution areas. Identification should also include

  • events that could trigger an evacuation
  • the location and interpretation of the posted evacuation route
  • the destination and procedures for evacuation.  

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What are the different types of work zones?
  • How do you know if additional safety equipment or clothing is needed to enter a safety area?
  • How are walkways identified in the lab/workshop area?
