Everlux AL


"As recent accidents, notably the fire in the Gotthard tunnel in June 2001, show that self-rescuing offers the highest potential for saving lives in the case of an accident in a tunnel, the introduction of clear and self explanatory signs in sufficient numbers indicating the safety equipment in each tunnel is an important measure that can be implemented at relatively low cost.” 

To prevent accidents in tunnels and their repercussions, the European Parliament and Council have approved the European Directive 2004/54/EC of 29th of April which defines the minimum safety requirements for tunnels in the Trans-European Road Network.

In enclosed environments like road and rail tunnels, accidents often result in tragic consequences, particularly if the incident is fire related. This risk may be increased significantly if there is a lack of consistent, continuous safety information giving details of escape routes, fire safety equipment, emergency phones, safe areas etc. In the event of an incident or accident, the first ten to fifteen minutes are crucial when it comes to people’s safety and damage limitation. photoluminescent safety signs for tunnels provide an effective means of reducing risks by communicating clear, unambiguous instructions and by providing guidance. photoluminescent safety signs for tunnels are manufactured on an aluminium base which guarantees high performance in extreme conditions.
