Fire Safety

Fire signs are required when risks exist which cannot be avoided or controlled by other means. Employers must have clear fire escape plans with clearly marked exit routes and fire fighting equipment. Failure to comply could lead to a fire inspector prohibition notice, but far worse would be the risk of injuries or even fatalities.

Your local fire authority can give advice on the correct use of appropriate fire safety signage.

Fire safety signs fall into three categories:

Fire exit – green and white

Fire equipment – red and white

Fire action – blue and white
