In the event of a fire, it’s vital that everyone in a building is aware of evacuation routes, fire exits and fire safety equipment. Clear, highly visible fire signage is a crucial part of this, quickly and simply communicating potentially life-saving information. The Health & Safety (Safety Signs & Signals) Regulations (1996) compels employers to provide adequate and specific safety signs wherever there is a risk or hazard of fire. The colour, shape and size of each sign category is stipulated by stringent requirements. This includes a symbol or pictogram to clearly show the sign’s meaning. Text-only signs are not permitted, but text can be used in addition to a symbol. Signs must be well maintained by the ‘responsible person’ (that is, an employer in a workplace environment, or occupier or owner of the premises if not a workplace), as stated in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
