There are several categories of fire safety signs, some of which will be essential for businesses. However, depending on your industry and specific fire risks (determined through a fire risk assessment as required by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005), you may not need each category. For example, your business would only need a flammable liquid sign if it stores or uses flammable liquids. Below, we list the various categories of fire signage:Fire door signs: clearly indicate a fire door and provide mandatory actions to ensure its effectiveness.
Fire exit signs: highlight the safest evacuation route and nearest emergency exit of a building.
Fire action notice: contain essential information and what actions to take in the event of a fire.
Fire push/pull signs: offer simple instructions for how to operate emergency exit doors.
Fire alarm signs: highlight the nearest fire alarm and provide information regarding its activation.
Fire extinguisher signs: these fire fighting signs help to identify types of fire extinguishers, which classes of fire they can be used on, and how to safely operate them.
Fire assembly signs: show where a building’s fire assembly point is located.
Fire floor level identification signs: indicate the Floor Level within a multi-storey high rise building.
