I hope you can help -is there any legislation covering the size of evacuation plans? I am not sure if A3 or A4 size evacuation plans are covered by any guidance/legislation.

An evacuation plan is a bespoke written procedure instructing your employees and relevant persons what to do in the event of a fire in your premises. This procedure is required by The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 together with requirement to training and the testing of the procedure.( Fire Drill) The procedure is devised by the Responsible Person and as well as the written procedure may include notices, drawings to make the contents more understandable. Fire evacuation drawing is not a requirement but can make the procedure more easily understood.
I believe you are talking about the fire evacuation drawing and it can be any size you consider necessary I have seen A4 and A3 it all depends.

All my responses only apply to England and Wales and they are an overview of the subject, hopefully it will point you in the right direction and always treat with caution. Scotland and Northern Ireland has differing legislation
