Photoluminescent Marking is Essential during Emergency Evacuations
In preparing for emergency evacuations, it’s best to prepare for the worst evacuation conditions possible. Usually, this involves putting in place controls that help people exit a building as quickly as possible while experiencing low visibility, as might result from a fire. Even when people have mentally rehearsed the proper evacuation procedures, they typically go into flight mode when facing a real emergency, abandoning their clear thinking and well rehearsed plans. Add in low visibility and it’s easy to see how people can take significantly longer to escape a building than they planned, if they escape at all.
Properly maintained fire exit signs and egress markings offer people the best chance to evacuate buildings in a safe, expedient manner, especially during low visibility. There are two basic kinds of illuminated exit signs: electrical (incandescent, LED, compressed fluorescent) and self-illuminating (Tritium and photoluminescent/PLM). Similarly, there are two kinds of illuminated egress markings: reflective (reflective tape) and self-illuminating (photoluminescent/PLM).
Incandescent fire exit signs are still the most common exit signs on the market, but while they provide sufficient illumination when visibility is low, they’re only as dependable as their back-up batteries and light bulbs, making them an ineffective choice for emergencies that result from structural shock and falling debris. Non-electrical Tritium exit signs avoid this problem, but their radioactive capsules can end up breaking and causing a second emergency. Like Tritium signs, PLM signs don’t use electricity, but neither do they contain radioactive material. They’re 100 percent non-toxic and recyclable, but what about their quality of illumination?
Unless exit signs indicate a shorter maximum viewing distance than 75 feet on their surface, UL requires exit signs be visible from at least 100 ft. during normal visibility, meaning that exit signs must burn with a minimum light level of 54 lux. Exit signs that exceed 54 lux can provide greater visibility when dust or smoke fill the air. Providing clear visibility at 100 ft and beyond during low visibility, photoluminescent exit signs exceed the low visibility viewing distance of most Tritium and incandescent exit signs. The same is true of photoluminescent egress markings versus reflective egress markings. The less light that surrounds a reflective surface, the less light it reflects.
A recent field study conducted by the National Research Council of Canada, Public Works and Government Services Canada and Jalite PLC demonstrates the effectiveness of PLM material during emergency evacuations. The experiment consisted of mock evacuating a large number people from the upper floors of an office building and having them evacuate down four separate stairwells during low visibility, with three stairwells containing differing styles of PLM markings and one stairwell containing emergency back up lighting. The results of the study show that the most preferable stairwell across a broad range of criteria was stairwell containing PLM markings. Unlike emergency lighting, which highly illuminates some parts of stairwells and leaves other parts in shadow, generously applied PLM markings offer evacuees a consummate sense of special awareness, allowing them to descend stairwells safely and more efficiently.

Having been in the construction industry most all of my life, safety evacuation is the number one concern for buildings that need a quick way out for people who work or visit that building in case of an emergency. I have found photoluminescent fire exit signs not are the safest, but are the most economical as well. Visit GloBriteSystem.com for more information on fire exit signs.
