Fire Safety Signs

All persons need to be accounted for after an evacuation. A designated assembly point will assist managers to check all persons quickly and efficiently.

The British Standard for Escape Route Signing, BS5499-4:2000 recommends that for an escape route signing system to be effective, it is important that from any place within the building occupants should have sight of a sign, or series of signs, which leads them to a place of safety.

There are areas within a means of escape route that can prevent a person from fixing an escape route sign either on the wall or above a door. Examples of these are factory environments (as illustrated), floor to ceiling doors, and corridors which lead into open areas, indicating a change of direction.

These Photoluminescent Rigid PVC double sided escape route signs incorporate the internationally recognised graphical symbol for escape routes, and are an effective alternative to traditional emergency lighting systems.

The priority in any emergency requiring evacuation is to enable occupants to leave the building and reach a place of safety quickly. It is important that all escape and access door mechanisms provided for use in an emergency are clearly identified, and that the operating instructions are clearly marked.

It is important that occupants of a building know what to do in the event of an emergency. Fire action notices positioned at fire alarm call points will provide occupants with a constant reminder of the procedures to be followed. Graphical symbols have been included to aid comprehensibility and understanding. We also provide fire action notice signs in a range of languages.

It cannot be assumed that all occupants will be able to read and understand English, therefore we can provide a notice sign which gives the necessary information, helping occupants follow the correct procedure in the event of a fire.

For further information concerning other languages please contact us.

These signs are 80mm in diameter, available in self adhesive vinyl, and are supplied individually in packs of 10.

Good fire safety management requires that all escape routes are kept unobstructed and are accessible at all times. AAA fire instruction signs can support the training and instruction of employees by reinforcing the fire safety message.

AAA fire exit and exit signs assist in the identification of the means of escape route and to be effective it is important that from any place within the building occupants have sight of a sign or series of signs, which leads them to a place of safety.

The escape route identified by the sign should be the escape route with the shortest travel distance.

Under a risk assessment of premises, it is important to identify not only the location, but also the type of fire signinguisher required. An identification sign suitably positioned by the signinguisher will provide a constant reminder of the type of signinguisher and types of fire it can be used on. AAA fire fighting equipment location and identification signs incorporate graphical symbols for classes of fire from BS EN3-5: 1996.

Communication is key to any risk assessment and occupants should be aware of the location of fire equipment and alarm points. A suitably positioned sign will provide a constant reminder of these locations.
