Fire Safety Signs
The different types of fire safety signs your business may require will depend on the building in which you operate, how they are used, and fire equipment you have. All of which Churches Fire can guide you through; providing the best fire risk assessments and advice on which fire safety signs you may need.
Essential Fire Safety Signage for Your Building
Why are fire alarms required?
Fire safety signs are a vital part of fire protection, keeping individuals informed about the fire evacuation or safety procedures for your building.
Fire safety sign regulations
Churches Fire & Security specify, supply and install a complete range of fire safety signs. These are not a replacement for other fire prevention and safety services, but they reduce risk by warning customers, employees and visitors of measures they may be required to take and making them aware of any danger posed by fire.
Churches Fire & Security will make sure that you have the appropriate fire safety signs correctly displayed, complying with the Health & Safety (Safety Signs & Signals) Regulations, manufactured to BS 5499. Fire safety signs should be pictographic – they may also include text or arrows but they should never use only text, ensuring that signs are easy to understand in an emergency.
Fire safety signs categories
There are a variety of different fire safety signs, colour coordinated according to their safety category:
Circular blue signs are MANDATORY signs that must be obeyed as a legal requirement.
Rectangular green signs SAFE CONDITION signs that detail the direction or location of certain safety equipment, such as first aid kits or fire exits.
Red signs are FIRE FIGHTING signs that indicate the location of fire safety equipment.
Triangular yellow signs are WARNING signs that warn of potential risks.
Circular red signs with crossbars are PROHIBITION signs that forbid certain actions that could be dangerous.
Accreditations
All of our signs are made by a fully accredited manufacturer, complying with current standards including BS EN ISO7010. With Churches Fire & Security, you can be sure that your business will be compliant with all legal fire safety requirements.
