Red firefighting signs indicate where safety equipment is located to tackle a fire, such as fire extinguishers. Firefighting signs can also signal fire alarm activation points. They are often red and can be rectangular or circular with white writing and a pictogram.
In the event of a fire, occupants must know where to find firefighting equipment, and which equipment they can use, depending on the type of fire.
Fire extinguisher ID signs come in many formats. They can be fixed to a wall, or attached to an extinguisher stand. You may also need to provide fire safety signs for equipment such as hose reels and dry risers if you have them on your premises.
Perhaps most importantly of all, your fire alarm call-points must be clearly sign-posted so that occupants can easily find where to raise the alarm if they spot a fire. Every call-point should have a sign, and if you also post Fire Action Notices here, the person raising the alarm will have all the information they need to proceed.
