Emergency exits

All emergency exits must be marked with a readily visible sign. The letters reading “EXIT” must be no less than 6 inches high, with 3/4 inch wide lettering colored in red or green. Directional arrows are necessary if the path to reach the nearest exit isn’t obvious. Rooms not designated as an exit and which have only one door must be marked with a sign reading “NOT AN EXIT” or the name of the room so employees won’t mistake it for an emergency exit. Keep all exits clear of obstructions at all times.

USPS facilities are required to display diagrams of emergency exit routes. Make sure employees know where the diagrams are located.

And that’s smart safety!
