Fire Alarm Point Sign Photoluminescent

Description

Position this sign above a manual call point to highlight its position. If your building has manual fire alarms, a fire alarm call point sign is mandatory in most cases. These signs aim to locate the fire alarm call point and be quickly spotted by anyone leaving the building or looking for the call point. Locate these signs adjacent to the fire alarm call point to clearly indicate where the call point is.

This sign is photoluminescent. Photoluminescence is the light emission from any form of matter after the absorption of photons. This simply means it can be seen in the dark. This aids if a fire were to cause a power outage.

According to UK legislation do you need a fire alarm point sign?

Yes, according to UK legislation, fire alarm point signs are required. The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 require that fire alarm call points are clearly indicated with appropriate signage.

Where should one of these signs be located?

The fire alarm point sign should be located immediately next to or above the fire alarm call point, in a position where it can be easily seen and identified by anyone in the area. The sign should also be positioned at a height that is easily visible and legible. The specific location and height of the sign may depend on the layout and use of the building.
