Fire safety signs are a requirement under health and safety legislation – but adequate signage should be viewed as more than a simple box-ticking exercise. Awareness plays a vital role in fire safety – ensuring people on site are aware of fire risks and hazards is essential in minimising the danger of damage, injury or death from fire.
Fire Signs
The different applications of fire signs are numerous, with a wide range required depending on the type and usage of your premises, including:
Fire exit signs
Fire door signs
Fire extinguisher signs
Glow in the dark fire safety signs – for low-light environments
Fire assembly point signs
Fire evacuation location signs
Mandatory fire signs
Blue signs with white illustrations are used to display a mandatory action that must be taken, such as protective equipment that needs to be worn. ‘Fire door keep shut’ is likely to be the most commonly recognised sign of this type .
