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.

The three parts of every compliant means of egress
The portion of a means of egress that leads from any occupied portion of a building to an exit. Includes corridors, aisles, and rooms.
The portion of a means of egress that is separated from other building areas to provide a protected way of travel to the exit discharge.
The portion of a means of egress between the termination of an exit and a public way. Includes exterior stairs and walkways.
Understanding the two major compliance frameworks
Everything you need to know about NFPA-compliant evacuation maps
An NFPA-compliant evacuation map follows the National Fire Protection Association's NFPA 101 Life Safety Code. This includes proper means of egress components (exit access, exit, exit discharge), travel distance limits, corridor width requirements, and emergency lighting/signage standards. Our generator ensures all these elements are correctly implemented.
OSHA sets minimum federal workplace safety standards, while NFPA 101 provides more detailed building and life safety requirements often adopted by state and local codes. Our generator can create maps that satisfy both - OSHA requirements for workplace posting and NFPA requirements for building code compliance.
Yes. Based on your floor layout and occupancy type, our AI calculates travel distances to exits and flags any areas that exceed NFPA limits. For most occupancies, travel distance to exits cannot exceed 200-300 feet. The generated map shows compliant routes within these limits.
The generator follows NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code), NFPA 1 (Fire Code), and NFPA 170 (Fire Safety and Emergency Symbols). This covers egress requirements, exit marking, fire safety symbols, and evacuation route standards used by fire marshals and building inspectors nationwide.
Yes. Most local fire codes are based on NFPA standards. Our NFPA-compliant maps include all elements fire marshals look for: proper exit designation, compliant evacuation routes, fire equipment placement, and emergency assembly points. Thousands of businesses have passed fire inspections with our maps.
Absolutely. For new construction or renovation projects, generate preliminary evacuation maps from architectural sketches to verify egress compliance before finalizing plans. Identify potential issues with exit locations or travel distances early in the design process.
Upload your hand sketch and get a Life Safety Code compliant evacuation map in seconds. Ready for fire marshal review.
