Route Color Coding

Exit routes are the backbone of any fire escape route map. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.36 and 1910.37 (exit route design and maintenance) and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code) expects routes that are continuous, unobstructed, and clearly marked from any occupied point to a public way. OSHAMap traces each route from a "You Are Here" position to the nearest suitable exit, draws directional arrows along corridors, and keeps travel paths visible so occupants can follow them without backtracking.

Distance and Time Estimates

When it comes to a fire escape route map, the goal is a diagram occupants can act on instantly. OSHAMap focuses on fire response and portable extinguisher coverage, placing extinguishers placed so travel distance to a Class A unit does not exceed 75 feet, with pull stations and alarm devices clearly located with consistent, repeatable logic. The output is professional, editable, and quick to update — a practical answer to a need that every occupied building shares.

Route Accessibility

A fire escape route map that ignores accessibility leaves out the people who most need a clear plan. Accessible routes, accessible exits, and designated areas of refuge should be identified directly on the diagram. The editor makes it straightforward to add and label these features, helping the map reflect both OSHA egress expectations and broader accessibility commitments.
