Lunch & Learn: Enhancing Safety through Dynamic Exit Signage in Healthcare Facilities

Date: Today - Wednesday, 18 June 2025

Time: 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm AEST

Location: Zoom – Join here

Join us for a compelling Lunch & Learn session exploring one of the most innovative advancements in healthcare safety—Dynamic Exit Signage. Presented in partnership with Clevertronics, this session will delve into how real-time emergency wayfinding is transforming hospital evacuations and protecting vulnerable patients.

In complex healthcare environments, where patients may have reduced mobility, be under sedation, or unfamiliar with their surroundings, clear and responsive emergency egress is critical. Traditional static exit signs are no longer enough.

Dynamic Exit Signage—featuring real-time directional cues and visual indicators like the Dynamic GREEN arrow and Dynamic RED X—has emerged as a vital technology in modern emergency planning. Backed by fire engineering principles and research by Professor Ed Galea from the University of Greenwich, this signage has proven to improve decision-making and evacuation outcomes.

• The Research Behind the Tech Discover key findings from the Fire Safety Engineering Group at the University of Greenwich and how their work supports the superiority of dynamic signage in emergencies.

• Real-World Healthcare Applications Learn how facilities like Westmead Private Hospital, St George Private, The Prince Charles Hospital, and St Vincent’s Melbourne are using Dynamic Exit Signage to address site-specific egress challenges.

• Design, Compliance & Implementation Understand how dynamic signage fits within the AS 2293 framework, including its integration into performance-based fire safety designs, ongoing maintenance needs, and compliance coordination with fire authorities.

• Challenges and Considerations Explore practical considerations such as compatibility with fire detection systems, system testing requirements, and technical deviations from standard regulations.
