Why free evacuation plan templates are not enough
Looking for a free evacuation plan template is the normal reflex. The problem is that the file you download says nothing about your building.
A template is not your building
A generic model shows hallways that do not exist in your facility. In an emergency, an approximate plan guides no one to the right exit.
Fire inspectors turn them down
An evacuation plan has to show YOUR exits, YOUR extinguishers and YOUR assembly point. A downloaded example does not pass an inspection.
Drawing it yourself takes hours
Redrawing a building in Word or Excel eats a full afternoon. And the result looks amateur once it is posted on the wall.
There is a better option now, and it is free too.
A free tool that draws your evacuation plan for you
The "Do It Yourself" app from GCA lets you trace your building, then place your exits, extinguishers and assembly points. It generates a professional plan that looks like your facility, not like a stock template.
