A muster point (also known as 'Assembly Point') is an assembly point where everyone meets in the event of an emergency. Muster Point is primarily a Canadian term.

There are four Signal Words or Hazard Classifications used in the design of an ANSI Z535 compliant safety sign or label: “DANGER”, “WARNING”, “CAUTION” or “NOTICE”.
