What are the five types of fire signs?
Prohibition, Warning, Mandatory, Safe-condition (exits/escape), and Fire-fighting equipment. Together these fire safety signs show what to avoid, where to go, and what to use in an emergency.
What are the requirements for fire safety signs?
They must be visible, consistent in style, high-contrast, and placed at eye level along routes. Keep them unobstructed, durable, and compliant with local standards. Maintain each safety sign so it stays legible.
What fire signs are mandatory?
Typically fire exit and route signs, "Fire door keep shut," alarm call point, and extinguisher location. Exact fire safety signs depend on your risk assessment and local code (e.g., OSHA/NFPA/ISO).
Where to put fire signs?
Where to put fire signs? Place fire safety signs above doors and along escape routes, at decision points, near alarms/extinguishers, and where hazards begin. Keep line-of-sight clear, mount around eye height, and repeat after long corridors or turns.
