Frequently Asked Questions
Is this evacuation map generator really free?
Yes โ you can generate your first OSHA-compliant evacuation map completely free. Just upload a floor plan and our AI creates a professional map in about 30 seconds. No credit card required.
Are the generated maps OSHA-compliant?
Our AI follows 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.
What file formats can I upload?
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.
How long does map generation take?
Most maps are generated in 20โ40 seconds. Complex multi-floor plans may take slightly longer. You can download your map immediately after generation.
Can I edit the map 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.
Is my floor plan data secure?
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.
On-Set Hazards Unique to Film Production
Entertainment productions face safety challenges unlike any other industry. Understanding these hazards is critical for OSHA entertainment industry compliance.
Pyrotechnics & Special Effects
Explosive charges, fire effects, and atmospheric smoke require blast radius clearance zones and fire watch personnel on every take.
Stunt Coordination
High-risk falls, fire gags, and vehicle sequences demand pre-planned evacuation routes with EMT on-site and dedicated safety zones.
High-Amperage Electrical
Film lighting draws massive power loads. Cable runs and distro boxes create tripping hazards and fire ignition sources.
Temporary Structures
Set construction, scaffolding, and rigging require structural integrity assessments and clear egress paths between set pieces.
Hot Lighting Equipment
HMI and tungsten fixtures reach extreme temperatures, creating burn hazards and potential fire ignition near flammable set materials.
Crowd Extras Management
Large groups of background actors require evacuation briefings and multiple egress routes to prevent crowd crush scenarios.
Temporary Structure Egress Requirements
Film sets built inside soundstages and on-location must meet specific OSHA egress standards. See our complete egress map guide for detailed requirements.
Minimum 4-Foot Clear Aisles
All pathways between set pieces, equipment, and craft services must maintain unobstructed 4-foot minimum width for emergency egress.
Outward-Opening Exits
Per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.36, all exit doors must swing outward in the direction of travel. Stage doors and loading dock exits included.
Emergency Lighting
Soundstages require battery-backup emergency lighting that activates within 10 seconds of power failure. Exit signs must be illuminated.
Multiple Exits for 50+ Occupancy
Sets with more than 50 cast and crew require minimum two exits on opposite sides. Larger productions need additional exits per fire code.
Fire Extinguisher Placement
Class ABC extinguishers required every 75 feet of travel distance. Additional CO2 extinguishers near electrical distribution areas.
Posted Evacuation Maps
Maps must be posted at eye level (60-66 inches) at all entrances, near exits, and at crew holding areas. Include assembly point locations.
Location Permitting Safety Checklist
Before filming at any location, production safety coordinators must verify these requirements. Major hubs like Los Angeles, Atlanta, and New York have specific permitting processes.
Location Scout Safety Assessment
Document all egress routes, identify nearest hospitals and fire stations, note terrain hazards
Fire Department Coordination
Submit evacuation plans for approval, schedule on-site fire safety officer if required by permit
Emergency Access Routes
Maintain clear vehicle access for fire trucks and ambulances at all times during production
Temporary Assembly Points
Establish visible gathering locations minimum 50 feet from structures, brief all crew on day 1
Communication Plan
Designate safety coordinator with radio channel, establish evacuation signal (3 air horn blasts typical)
Weather Contingency
Lightning protocol for outdoor shoots, wind limits for rigging, heat illness prevention plan
For California productions, reference Cal/OSHA Division of Occupational Safety and Health requirements. Union productions must also follow IATSE safety standards.
Stunt and Pyrotechnic Safety Zones
High-risk sequences require carefully planned safety perimeters and evacuation protocols.
Pyrotechnic Safety Zones
- Blast radius calculation based on charge size (typically 50-100ft minimum)
- Fire watch personnel positioned with extinguishers during all hot work
- Crew cleared from zone before any pyrotechnic sequence
- EMT and first aid station within 100 feet of effects area
- Pre-planned evacuation routes accounting for smoke and debris drift
- Fire department on standby for major pyrotechnic sequences
Stunt Safety Zones
- Rehearsal and safety meeting before every stunt sequence
- Dedicated stunt coordinator with radio communication to all departments
- Fall pads, air bags, or wire rigging safety-checked before each take
- Vehicle stunts require full track closure and fire suppression on standby
- Medical team briefed on potential injuries specific to the stunt
- Secondary egress route if primary becomes blocked during sequence
Case Study: Major Studio Achieves Zero Incidents
A major Atlanta-based production studio needed to update evacuation maps across all 23 soundstages to meet new insurance requirements. Previously, creating maps manually took 2-3 days per stage.
Using our AI-powered generator, the safety team uploaded floor plans and generated compliant evacuation maps for each stage in under 10 minutes. The maps included accurate fire extinguisher placement, clearly marked exits, and assembly point locations specific to each soundstage layout.
Result: The studio passed their insurance safety audit with zero findings and established a protocol for updating maps within 24 hours of any set rebuild.
