Stop waiting days for store-bought evacuation maps. OSHAMap uses AI to generate OSHA-aligned evacuation maps from your floor plan in under 60 seconds โ no design skills required, no reorders needed.
Traditional evacuation map stores like The Evacuation Map Store sell pre-made or custom-printed maps that can take days or weeks to arrive. Every time your building layout changes โ new walls, relocated equipment, updated exits โ you need to reorder and pay again. With OSHA requiring maps to reflect current building conditions under 29 CFR 1910.38, static store-bought maps quickly become compliance liabilities.
OSHAMap is the modern, AI-powered alternative. Upload your floor plan (PDF, image, or even a hand-drawn sketch), and get a professional, OSHA-aligned evacuation map in seconds. Update your map anytime your layout changes โ instantly and without additional per-map fees.

Traditional map stores require you to send floor plans via email, wait for a designer to manually create your map, and then wait for printing and shipping. OSHAMap's AI analyzes your floor plan and generates a compliant evacuation map in under 60 seconds. Upload a PDF, photograph, or even a hand-drawn sketch โ our AI handles any format.
Not all evacuation map stores verify compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.38. Some produce visually appealing maps that miss critical requirements like proper exit route marking, fire extinguisher placement every 75 feet (per OSHA 1910.157), or ADA-accessible evacuation routes. OSHAMap automatically ensures every map meets federal standards and state-specific regulations across all 50 states.
Building layouts change โ renovations, new equipment, relocated offices. With a map store, every change means a new order, new payment, and more waiting. OSHAMap lets you upload your updated floor plan and regenerate a compliant map instantly. Stay compliant without the recurring costs of reordering printed maps.
A hospital's evacuation needs are vastly different from a warehouse or restaurant. Generic map stores use one-size-fits-all templates. OSHAMap provides specialized evacuation map templates for healthcare facilities, manufacturing plants, retail stores, schools, hotels, construction sites, and dozens more โ each with industry-specific hazard zones and equipment requirements.
OSHA requires evacuation information be accessible to all employees. Most map stores offer English-only maps or charge extra for translations. OSHAMap generates evacuation maps in 16+ languages including Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Tagalog, and Korean โ essential for workplaces with diverse, multilingual teams.
Traditional evacuation map stores charge $150-$500+ per custom map, plus revision fees, lamination costs, and shipping charges. For a business with multiple floors or locations, costs add up quickly. OSHAMap offers a free tier for basic maps and affordable plans for higher-volume generation โ saving businesses thousands of dollars annually.
