How to Teach Workplace Evacuation Routes with Interactive Tools

You can hang maps. Host meetings. Email PDFs.

But when an emergency hits, most employees still hesitate: “Where’s the exit again?” “Do I go left or right?” “Who do I report to?”

If you're wondering how to teach workplace evacuation routes effectively, interactive training tools are the answer.

Why Traditional Evacuation Training Doesn’t Stick

Most safety programs rely on:

• One-time walkthroughs

• Static posters or printed maps

• PowerPoint presentations

The problem? These methods are passive and forgettable. Studies show that active learning - doing rather than listening, improves long-term recall by more than 70%.

That’s why leading safety teams are turning to interactive tools like LOCI to build real-world evacuation memory.

How LOCI Teaches Evacuation Routes (That Actually Stick)

LOCI turns your physical evacuation paths into live, self-guided safety drills using QR codes. Here’s how it works:

 1. QR Code Checkpoints

Place custom QR codes along designated evacuation paths. Each code represents a key checkpoint - exits, fire extinguishers, muster zones.

Employees scan codes using their phone, no app needed.

 2. Physical Route Walkthroughs

Rather than watching a map, users walk the evacuation path themselves. This activates memory, spatial awareness, and muscle repetition.

It’s not a simulation. It’s real.

 3. Auto-Tracking & Feedback

Each scan logs the route, time, and completion. You get reports showing:

• Who completed the drill

• How long it took

• Where users hesitated or missed checkpoints

Train and test at once, no extra sessions required.

The LOCI Advantage: Evacuation Training That Trains Itself

Feature	Traditional Training	LOCI Interactive Drill
Paper maps	✅	❌
Physical walkthrough	❌	✅
Measurable participation	❌	✅
Shift-based flexibility	❌	✅
SCORM-compliant export	❌	✅

With LOCI, you don’t just tell employees where to go. You let them experience it and log their learning in real time.

Ideal Use Cases

• High-turnover facilities (warehousing, logistics)

• Large campuses (hospitals, universities)

• Multi-zone plants with layered evacuation plans

• Remote or night-shift operations needing self-paced drills

Wherever routes vary by location or time, LOCI adapts.

Want employees to remember their evacuation routes, even months later?

Let them walk it, scan it, and store it in memory.

Try LOCI QR drills and start building muscle memory, not just meeting minutes.
