• Look closely at symbols 61, 62, and 63 and think about how arrows are commonly used on safety and escape signs on ships and in buildings. • Consider the difference between a symbol that marks an escape route versus one that marks an assembly station or emergency exit location. • Review IMO Fire Control Plan conventions: the symbol for the direction of primary means of escape should be simple, highly visible, and unambiguous in which way you should move.

💭 Think About

• Which of the listed symbols would most clearly tell you, in an emergency with smoke and confusion, which way to walk along a passage? • Is the symbol pointing you along a path, or is it instead indicating a particular place (like a muster station or exit door)? • Between a solid arrow, a broken arrow, and a triangular/chevron shape, which is most universally recognized as a directional arrow for movement?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which symbol uses a solid directional arrow rather than a broken line or abstract triangle shape. • Confirm that the chosen symbol appears in green, the standard color for safe condition and escape route signs under IMO conventions. • Make sure you are choosing the symbol that indicates direction of travel along the escape route, not just the location of emergency equipment or an exit.
