Spanish term or phrase: permanencia de la zona de seguridad
Todas las instalaciones y equipos deben estar en perfectas condiciones
Deben verificar en forma permanente el estado de los siguientes aspectos edilicios:
Señalización y permanencia de la zona de seguridad
Ubicación de rutas de escapes principales o secundarias elegidas

Does anyone know what's the equivalent for this? I found the following:
"ZONA DE SEGURIDAD" fijada: constatar su permanencia y señalización. La "ZONA DE SEGURIDAD” determinada debe mantenerse señalizada de modo permanente, con su contorno pintado, preferentemente, con pintura amarilla. Ello acostumbrará a los ocupantes del edificio a concentrarse en ella de manera automática.

So, I'm not sure whether it should be translated as "Signaling and permanence of the safety zone", as "Permanent/Constant signaling of the safety zone", or otherwise.
Can anyone help? Txs.

maintenance of the security zone


Explanation:
Permanecer is also used meaning to exist throughout time. In order to assure that, maintenance is required.
In Argentina we see some signboards with this phrase, although it is easy to be confused with permanecer as in being present, to assist.

signage and continuing availability of the safety area


Explanation:
it seems "permanencia" just means checking that the safety area is still being used as a safety area -- that is is not obstructed by items being moved from one place to another, is not being used to store items, etc.
