Fire Safety Signs

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

Prohibition fire signs

These signs indicate a prohibited ‘do not’ action through the instantly recognisable red circle with a black illustration with a line through it. The action will be detailed below. A ‘no smoking’ sign is a typical example of this kind of fire safety sign.

Fire warning signs

Yellow or orange, in a triangle shape, these signs are used to warn that a hazard or danger is nearby – typically flammable materials.

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.

Emergency signage

Rather than showing danger, emergency signage is typically used to indicate safety or escape – fire exit signs that guide people out of a building in case of emergency are the most recognisable example.
