AODA Exit Sign Ontario — High-Contrast Green Pictogram
Ontario exit signs must use the green running-person pictogram (ISO 7010 E001/E002), not the US-style red "EXIT" text. Our exit sign decals are produced to the Ontario Building Code (O. Reg. 332/12, Art. 3.4.5.1) spec: high-contrast green field, white symbol, sized for your sightline. AODA O. Reg. 191/11 (IASR) reinforces that accessible signage must be recognisable without literacy — the pictogram satisfies this requirement.
