Collection: Fire Alarm Signs

Yes, you need a fire alarm sign in the UK. The Fire Safety Order 2005 requires that all fire alarm call points be clearly and prominently marked with signage that is easy to read and understand.

The signage should include the following information:

• The words "Fire alarm" in large, clear letters.
• An arrow pointing in the direction of the fire alarm call point.
• Instructions on how to use the fire alarm call point.

The signage should be placed in a conspicuous location near the fire alarm call point, where it is likely to be seen by people in the event of a fire. The signage should be photoluminescent if the building is in use at night.

When choosing signage, make sure to select a sign that is made from durable materials and that is weatherproof.

In addition to fire alarm call point signage, you may also want to consider installing other fire safety signage in your workplace. For example, you may want to install signs that direct people to the nearest fire exit, or signs that warn people of specific fire hazards.

By installing fire alarm call point signage and other fire safety signage in your workplace, you can help to ensure that people are aware of the fire safety procedures in place and that they know how to stay safe in the event of a fire.

Here are some additional tips for using fire alarm call point signage effectively:

• Use multiple signs if necessary to ensure that people are aware of all of the fire alarm call points in your workplace.
• Use signs in multiple languages if necessary.
• Tailor the message of the sign to the specific audience. For example, use different signs for employees, visitors, and children.
• Use symbols and images to help communicate the message of the sign.
• Make sure that the signs are consistent with each other. For example, use the same colors and symbols for all fire alarm call point signs.

By following these tips, you can create fire alarm call point signs that are effective and easy to understand.
