An assembly area may also be a safe zone located a certain distance from a building where staff and other building users can gather in the event of an emergency. Many companies include a safe zone or ‘place of safety’ as part of their evacuation plans in the event of a fire or other emergency. The aim is to achieve an orderly transfer of building occupants to a point where they will be safe and accounted for. There may also be a safe area for this purpose on a construction site.

However, many modern factories are either not large enough or not specialised enough to encompass both production and assembly under one roof and so are geared to either component manufacture or component assembly. The car industry is a typical example where many components are brought in from a diverse supply chain and assembled under one roof. But even in these cases, there may be an assembly area.
