Yes — 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 1910.36–37 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 PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP, BMP, TIFF, AVIF, HEIC, SVG, PDF, DOC/DOCX, PPT/PPTX, XLS/XLSX, ODT, ODP, ODS, DXF, and DWG floor plans. Office and CAD files are converted securely before processing; PDF uploads let you choose the source page.
Most maps are generated in 20–40 seconds. Complex multi-floor plans may take slightly longer. You see the preview instantly — create a free account (no credit card) to download the file.
Yes — every generated map opens in a free drag-and-drop editor where you can move, resize, and recolor exit signs, routes, and equipment icons. Enterprise features like multi-floor support and branded maps are available on paid 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.
FROM FLOOR PLAN TO REVIEW-READY DRAFT
OSHAMap turns the layout you already have into an editable OSHA-aligned draft—so a safety professional can focus on verification, not redrawing.
01 / SOURCE
A floor-plan PDF, phone photo, or hand sketch gives the draft a place to begin.
PDF · photo · sketchFaster first drafts. Human-reviewed decisions. Safer U.S. workplaces.
INSIDE THE EDITING EXPERIENCE
The automation gets you to a strong starting point. The editor keeps your team in control of site-specific details.
01 / 04 · Open draft
OSHAMap creates an OSHA-aligned draft for review. Your safety team or AHJ should verify the final map before posting.
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 — 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. If you renovate your office or add an emergency exit, re-upload the updated floor plan and create a new draft for review. Free accounts include up to 5 regenerations per upload; verify each revision against the workplace before posting.
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.
