Evacuation Diagrams in Shepparton
We draw evacuation diagrams for Shepparton offices, schools, warehouses, shops and aged care. Each diagram is drawn from your building as it is now, with exits, fire equipment and the assembly area marked clearly.
A diagram that matches the building it hangs in
Buildings change. Walls go up during a fit-out, a tenancy is split in two, a door is moved and the extinguisher ends up on the other side of the room. If the evacuation diagram was drawn before any of that, it can point people the wrong way.
We walk your building, check every exit and every piece of fire equipment, and draw diagrams to AS 3745 that match what is there today. For larger sites or several floors, each diagram is drawn for the spot it will hang in.
What Goes on Every Diagram
Australian Standard AS 3745 sets out what an evacuation diagram shows. Every diagram we draw covers the essentials below.
Exits and routes
Every designated exit and the path to it, marked so people can see the nearest way out and a second option if it is blocked.
Fire equipment
Extinguishers, hose reels, fire blankets and alarm call points shown where they actually sit in the building.
Assembly area
Where everyone gathers once they are out, so wardens can count heads and nobody goes looking for a missing person inside.
Orientation
The diagram is turned to match the way the reader is facing where it hangs, so left on the page is left in the room.
Date and legend
A validity date and a simple legend, so anyone can read the symbols and you can see at a glance when it was last reviewed.
When Diagrams Need Updating
An out of date diagram can send people to an exit that is no longer there. Treat the diagram as part of the building, not a one-off poster.
After a fit-out or move
New walls, moved doors or a change of tenancy mean the diagram no longer matches the building.
When equipment moves
Extinguishers and hose reels that have moved need to be shown in their new spots.
At regular reviews
Check the diagrams against the building at least every few years, and redraw them if anything has drifted.
Getting the Most From Them
A diagram only helps if people have seen it before the alarm goes off.
- Mount diagrams at eye level near exits, lifts and in corridors people use every day.
- Walk new staff past the nearest diagram in their first week.
- Use the diagrams when you run your evacuation drill.
- Tell us when you change the layout, so the diagrams can be redrawn.

What Our Clients Say
Evacuation diagrams FAQs
Common questions from Shepparton buildings. Anything else, just ask.
Book a serviceCan you draw evacuation diagrams for a multi-level building in Shepparton?
Yes. Each floor gets its own diagrams, drawn for the spot each one hangs in, with the stairs and exits for that level marked clearly.
How long does it take to get evacuation diagrams for a Shepparton site?
It depends on the size of the building and how many diagrams you need. Once we have measured up, we will give you a clear timeframe with your quote.
What needs to be on an evacuation diagram?
Under AS 3745, a diagram shows a "you are here" point, designated exits, fire equipment such as extinguishers, hose reels and call points, the assembly area, the date it was validated and a legend. It should also be turned to match the direction the reader is facing.
How many evacuation diagrams does my building need?
Enough that people can find one on their way out. In most buildings that means one near each main exit and at key points along corridors. We walk the building with you and recommend where they should go.
Do you need building plans to draw the diagrams?
Plans help, but they are not essential. If you do not have them, we measure up on site and draw the diagram from what is actually there.
Can you do evacuation diagrams on the same visit as other safety services?
Yes. We often measure up for diagrams on the same visit as fire equipment servicing and test and tag, and we already know where your extinguishers and hose reels are.
