What Different Types of Fire Safety Signs Are There?


According to current legislation, organisations will generally need four main types of fire safety signs: fire action signs, which inform individuals what to do in the event of a fire; signs that indicate fire-safe exit routes, doors and assembly points; signs marking the location of fire-fighting equipment; and warning/prohibition signs to discourage specific behaviours like smoking.

Displaying Fire Safety Signs in a Workplace or Commercial Setting


Different properties will be subject to different guidelines, and so it is important to consult the relevant health and safety regulations, as well as the appropriate fire safety regulations for your industry.

Health and safety fire signs are typically used to:
  • Warn you of the potential fire risks.

  • Direct you towards fire safety equipment.

  • Inform you of the correct course of action to take during a fire safety incident.


Purchasing fire safety exit signs is just one of the necessary precautions you should take to keep your employees safe in case of a fire. Employees should be educated on the meaning of different fire safety signs and symbols, provided up-to-date fire safety training, and should also be involved in regular fire drills.

The layout of a workplace and the type of fire safety sign will impact how each sign will be displayed. For example, fire exit door signs and directional fire exit signs need to be prominently displayed and will often be mounted in elevated positions.

Fire Risk Assessments


Before purchasing fire safety equipment of any kind, it is essential that fire risk assessments are carried out. A dedicated individual within the workplace should be assigned to conduct and review these assessments.

Fire risk assessments allow you to identify what actions are needed to help prevent fires, as well as the best ways to keep people safe in the event of an emergency. A fire risk assessment will also identify what equipment is needed within a workplace to ensure that it complies with the relevant legislation.
