No floor plan handy? Generate an instant demo map โ no upload needed.
Yes โ you can generate your first OSHA-aligned evacuation map draft completely free. Just upload a floor plan and our AI drafts a professional map in about 30 seconds. No credit card required.
Our AI drafts maps that follow OSHA 29 CFR 1910.36โ37 and NFPA 101 Life Safety Code standards. Every map includes clearly marked exits, fire extinguisher locations, assembly points, and directional evacuation arrows. Supervisor review is required before posting to your facility.
We accept JPG, PNG, and PDF floor plans. For best results, use a clear, high-resolution image of your floor plan with visible walls, doors, and rooms.
Most maps are generated in 20โ40 seconds. Complex multi-floor plans may take slightly longer. You can download your map immediately after generation.
The generated map is a high-resolution image you can download and print. For custom edits or enterprise features like multi-floor support and branded maps, check our pricing plans.
Yes. All uploads are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and processed in secure cloud environments. We do not share your floor plans with third parties.
Transform your hand-drawn floor plans into OSHA-aligned safety maps in seconds
Works with photos, scans, PDFs, CAD files, or even hand-drawn napkin sketches
No design skills are required. Our AI understands hand-drawn floor plans, smartphone photos, scanned blueprints, and PDF documents. Simply upload any representation of your facility layout and receive a professional-grade emergency evacuation map instantly.
OSHAMap is designed to help users organize key evacuation-planning information commonly associated with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.38 โ clearly marked exit routes, fire extinguisher locations within 75-foot travel distance, assembly points, YOU ARE HERE markers, and accessibility accommodations per ADA guidelines. Each draft must be reviewed and verified for the actual workplace by the employer, safety officer, or AHJ before posting.
Yes, unlimited revisions are included. If you renovate your office or add a new emergency exit, simply re-upload your updated floor plan and generate a new compliant map instantly. All free maps include unlimited regeneration so you always have current evacuation documentation.
Our generator works for any building type including warehouses, manufacturing plants, healthcare facilities, schools, retail stores, and office buildings. The AI adapts to any facility size and layout, generating appropriate exit routes, fire safety equipment placement, and assembly point locations.

Understanding exit access, exit, and exit discharge
The portion of a means of egress that leads to an exit. This includes corridors, aisles, ramps, and stairs that provide a path from any occupied space to an exit.
The portion of a means of egress that is separated from other building spaces by construction. Includes exit enclosures (stairwells), exit passageways, and exterior exit doors.
The portion of a means of egress between the termination of an exit and a public way. This is the path from the exit door to a safe location outside the building.

Key technical limits our diagrams verify
Automatic calculation and compliance verification
Based on your sketch scale, our AI calculates the travel distance from any point to the nearest exit. Distances are displayed on the diagram and flagged if they exceed code limits.
Travel distance limits vary by occupancy type. Business occupancies allow 200-300 ft, while high-hazard areas may be limited to 75 ft. Select your occupancy type for accurate limits.
The common path of egress travel - the distance from any point until two separate egress paths become available - is calculated and marked to ensure it doesn't exceed code limits.
Travel distances automatically calculated and displayed
Automatic identification of egress hazards
Dead-end corridors trap occupants if their only egress path is blocked. NFPA 101 limits dead-ends to 20 feet (50 feet if sprinklered) in most occupancies.
Our AI automatically detects dead-end corridors in your sketch and measures their length. Non-compliant dead-ends are highlighted in red with distance measurements.
If dead-ends exceed limits, consider adding a secondary exit, installing sprinklers to increase allowable length, or reconfiguring the layout to eliminate the dead-end.
Everything you need to know about egress route diagrams
An egress route diagram shows the complete means of egress - the path from any occupied space to a public way. It includes three components: exit access (the path to an exit), the exit itself (the protected portion like stairs or exit passageway), and exit discharge (the path from the exit to outside). Our diagrams clearly show all three components.
Egress diagrams focus specifically on the technical means of egress - showing exit access, exit, and exit discharge components with travel distances and code compliance elements. Evacuation maps are more user-friendly for general occupants. Many facilities need both: technical egress diagrams for planning/compliance and simple evacuation maps for posting.
Yes. Based on your sketch dimensions, the AI calculates and displays travel distances from various points to exits. It flags any areas that may exceed code limits (typically 200-300 feet depending on occupancy). This helps identify potential compliance issues in your egress design.
The generator follows NFPA 101 Life Safety Code and OSHA egress requirements. This includes: maximum travel distances, common path of egress limits, dead-end corridor restrictions, exit width requirements, and exit separation distances. Select your occupancy type for specific requirement application.
Yes. Generate egress diagrams from preliminary sketches to verify compliance before construction or renovation. Identify issues with exit locations, travel distances, or egress capacity early. The diagram serves as documentation for fire marshal review and permit applications.
If the generator identifies potential egress issues - excessive travel distances, insufficient exits, or dead-end problems - it provides recommendations. You can then modify your sketch to address issues and regenerate the diagram to verify improvements meet code requirements.
