Fire Alarm Signs

Fire Alarm Call Point Signs: Buying Guide

Fire alarm signs effectively highlight the location of a fire alarm call point so that the alarm can be raised should a fire or smoke be detected. In an emergency this is a sign that can save lives – the faster the alarm is raised, the greater the chance of everybody in the building being evacuated safely. With this in mind it will come as no suprise that the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 stipulates that fire safety signs, including identifing fire alarm points, should be placed in prominent locations, throughout your premises.

Back up these signs with smoke detectors – these are especially useful for alerting building occupants to the presence of smoke.

Fire alarm test signs are also worth considering as they notify employees and visitors of when fire drills are planned.

Photoluminescent fire alarm signs are ideal for easily identifying a fire alarm call point in the dark or dimly lit conditions as they glow in the dark. These signs stay lit for up to six hours after being exposed to a light source that, in essence, “charges" them. They are made with an environmentally-friendly polyester film that is white in daylight but glow brightly in the dark.

Use photoluminescent tape around the fire alarm button to ensure that it can be found in the dark or smoke-filled atmosphere.

For use in corridors, we stock fire alarm point projecting 3D signs that can be clearly seen from all directions.

For sites with very little wall space to which a sign can be affixed then a hanging corridor sign is ideal. It is double-sided and is simply suspended from the ceiling with hanging wires.

Fire alarm call point construction signs effectively notify employees, sub-contractors, visitors and the public of the location of the fire alarm call point on building and construction sites. In an emergency, these signs can save lives - the faster the alarm is raised, the more chance there is of evacuating everyone safely.

In addition to fire alarm signs, fire equipment signs should be positioned near to fire fighting equipment, such as fire extinguishers, to enable a fire to be tackled; but only if it is safe to do so. The priority should first and foremost be the safe evacuation of the building. See our full range of Fire Safety Signs to ensure you have all the signs you need to stay safe and compliant on site.
