The committee expects to submit a draft plan for the Board of Directors consideration in November, with the expectation that the multi-year plan may be put into action by December.
PSA is dedicated to generating broad-based acceptance of safety-grade photoluminescent products. Photoluminescent products improve safety through such markings as exit signs, floor proximity egress pathway marking systems, and general safety signage.
