Fire exit signs are crucial for guiding people to the nearest safe exit in case of a fire or emergency. They ensure a clear, visible escape route, reducing the risk of panic and confusion. Proper signage can help save lives by facilitating a quick and orderly evacuation.
According to UK fire safety regulations, fire exit signs must be positioned in all non-domestic buildings where escape routes are not immediately obvious. Key locations include:
Doorways leading to fire escapes
Stairwells and corridors
Changes in direction along an escape route
Large open-plan areas where exit points may not be obvious
High-risk areas such as kitchens, factories, or warehouses
Fire exit signs in the UK must comply with:
The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996, which require clear safety signage for emergency routes and exits.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which places responsibility on employers and building managers to ensure that fire safety signs are visible, maintained, and correctly positioned.
BS EN ISO 7010:2020, which sets the standard for fire safety signs, ensuring consistency in design and pictograms.
Absolutely. Fire exit signs reduce the likelihood of injury by:
Minimising confusion – Clearly marking escape routes prevents hesitation during an emergency.
Improving evacuation times – Helping staff and visitors exit quickly and safely.
Reducing trip hazards – Ensuring people follow designated routes rather than unsafe shortcuts.
Fire exit signs in the UK must follow standard green and white colouring, as specified by BS EN ISO 7010. This ensures they are immediately recognisable. Typical symbols include:
A running person
A directional arrow
A door or stairs to indicate an exit route.
Failing to provide adequate fire exit signage can lead to legal penalties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Fire safety officers conduct inspections, and non-compliance can result in:
Improvement notices requiring corrective action
Prohibition notices preventing building use
Fines or prosecution in severe cases
