Hello,
There has been a suggestion to add a decal or sign of some sort to cross-corridor smoke doors, so that clinical staff can easily identify where the next smoke compartment begins without referring to the emergency plans.
These doors are typically held open and close with the fire alarm.
There are numerous other cross-corridor doors so it is not always clear which is the smoke door versus a control door. I have seen signs commercially available that say "Fire door--please keep closed" but am wondering if anyone has seen a good example of smoke compartment door signage or symbols? Thanks!
