Fire Extinguisher Sign

Description

A fire extinguisher sign is a visual aid that indicates the location of fire extinguishers in a building. The sign features a pictogram of a fire extinguisher and the words “Fire Extinguisher” in clear, easy-to-read text. This sign does not include additional information such as the type of extinguisher (e.g. Water, AFF Foam, CO2, etc.). Neither does it include the class of fire it is suitable for (e.g. A, B, C, D, or F). Those features would be found on a fire extinguisher ID sign.

The sign is made of durable materials such as plastic or metal and is designed to be highly visible, even in low-light conditions. It is intended to help people quickly locate and use a fire extinguisher in an emergency.

According to UK legislation do you need a fire extinguisher sign?

Yes, under UK legislation, if you have fire extinguishers on your premises, you are required to display appropriate fire extinguisher signs to indicate their location. These signs should be prominently displayed and clearly visible.

Where should these signs be located?

Fire extinguisher signs should be located in a clearly visible position. That is in close proximity to the extinguisher, and at a height that is easily readable. The signs should also be positioned in a way that allows them to be seen from all directions. This should also not be obstructed by any objects or barriers. Additionally, if the extinguisher is located behind a door or in an area that is not immediately visible, a sign should be placed on or near the door to indicate its location.
