*Class E450001  Fire Safety Poster This is a home floor plan drawn to scale showing primary and secondary escape routes and where fire extinguishers and smoke detectors are located. Draw every room, including all doors and windows. Use black or blue arrows showing primary escape routes from each room.

Primary and secondary escape routes must lead outside to an assembly location.  Documentation should include evidence the escape plan has been practiced at least four times.  Posters must be constructed of commercial poster board at least 11 inches x 14 inches but not larger than 22 inches x 28 inches.
