What Makes a Evacuation Diagram AS 3745-2010 Compliant?

A compliant evacuation diagram must clearly show the occupant’s current location with a visible “You Are Here” marker, and be oriented to match the viewer’s perspective so it can be easily understood at a glance. Exit points and evacuation routes must be clearly identified, including both primary and alternate paths of travel.

The diagram should also display the location of key fire and emergency equipment such as fire extinguishers, hose reels, hydrants, manual call points, first aid kits, and defibrillators where applicable. Assembly area locations must be shown, along with a clear legend explaining all symbols used throughout the diagram.

Finally, each diagram must include an issue date and a validity date to ensure it remains current and suitable for use as part of the building’s emergency planning.

How It Works

Our Process for Creating Evacuation Diagrams

1

Initial Enquiry / Quote Provided

We start by understanding your building layout and what’s required. This includes the number of diagrams, general layout, and any existing information you have available. Based on the information supplied, we provide a clear quote outlining the scope of works and what’s included.
2

Floor Plans Supplied / Diagram Creation

You provide floor plans, mark-ups, or photos showing key details such as exits, fire equipment, and layout. If details are missing, we’ll let you know what’s needed. Then diagrams are prepared in accordance with AS 3745, using the information provided. Layouts are set for clarity, correct orientation, and practical use on site.
3

Draft Sent For Your Review

A draft of each evacuation diagram is issued for review prior to finalisation. This allows you to check that all key details are correct, including exits, travel paths, fire equipment, assembly areas, and overall layout. If anything is missing or needs adjusting, changes can be requested at this stage.
4

Final Delivery

Once approved, final evacuation diagrams are supplied as high-resolution, A3 print-ready PDF files. If required, we can also provide guidance on installation, including recommended placement, mounting height, and orientation to ensure the diagrams are displayed correctly and meet the regulations - AS 3745.

Evacuation Diagrams FAQ

How many evacuation diagrams does my building require?

The number of evacuation diagrams required depends on the size, layout, and occupancy of the building. Under AS 3745-2010, evacuation diagrams must be displayed in prominent and strategic locations such as near exits, stairwells, lifts, corridors, and areas where occupants gather.

Each level of a building typically requires multiple diagrams to ensure they are clearly visible from any point of travel. A certified Fire Safety Advisor can determine the correct number and placement to ensure full compliance.

Are evacuation diagrams legally required in Queensland?

Yes. In Queensland, certain buildings are legally required to display evacuation diagrams under fire safety and workplace health and safety regulations. These diagrams must comply with AS 3745-2010 – Planning for Emergencies in Facilities.

Commercial buildings, multi-occupancy properties, and high-traffic facilities are typically required to have compliant evacuation diagrams clearly displayed to assist occupants during an emergency.

Do evacuation diagrams need to comply with AS 3745?

Yes. Evacuation diagrams must comply with AS 3745-2010, the Australian Standard that governs emergency planning and evacuation procedures in facilities.

The standard specifies required elements including:

  • Orientation (“You Are Here” marker)
  • Emergency exits and paths of travel
  • Fire safety equipment locations
  • Assembly areas
  • Emergency contact details
  • Required symbols and formatting

Non-compliant diagrams may not meet regulatory requirements and could place building owners at risk.

Can evacuation diagrams be prepared without a site visit?

In many cases, yes. Evacuation diagrams can be prepared remotely using accurate and up-to-date floor plans, building layouts, and emergency equipment details.

However, site verification may be recommended if floor plans are outdated or if there are complex fire safety installations that require confirmation. Our process allows for fully online preparation while ensuring compliance with AS 3745-2010.

How long does it take to receive evacuation diagrams?

Turnaround time depends on the building size and complexity. For most standard commercial or multi-occupancy buildings, evacuation diagrams are typically prepared and delivered within a few business days after receiving complete and accurate floor plan documentation.

Urgent requests can often be accommodated upon request.

Can you prepare evacuation diagrams outside Brisbane?

Yes. We prepare AS 3745-2010 compliant evacuation diagrams for buildings across Australia. Our process is fully online, allowing us to deliver professionally prepared, print-ready evacuation diagrams regardless of location.

We regularly assist clients in Brisbane, Queensland, and nationwide.
