Choosing Fire Safety Signs

Many fire safety signs are made of photo luminescent materials. That allows them to be read both in the light and in the dark, since they absorb energy during the day and glow when light is not available. Technical Data used in the field explained in safety officer course in Rawalpindi.   There are multiple sign types which are legal for use, which causes confusion in some people. You may use either the EEC standard sign or the British Standard sign when pointing out exits, firefighting equipment, or telephones.

Other sign types exist. If you have them in your building already, make sure that they are clear and readable, have obvious and easy to understand pictograms, and are accompanied by the right text. It's important to make sure that all signage in a single building or on a single property is the same, also. Don't mix sign types. If you're in doubt over a standard to choose, the British Standard version is recommended, since it's most widely recognized and understood.

Escape route signs should be accompanied by supplementary text to make sure that it's easily understandable. Fire exit routes should be clearly indicated by arrows pointing in the correct direction, as well as the right types of text. If you are indicating that an exit is for emergency use only, be sure to use a special sign for this, rather than a fire exit sign combined with a staff only or "private" sign, which may cause confusion in the event of a fire. Fire safety signs must be clearly readable even by people who are confused and stressed, if they're going to do their job properly.

Signs must also be located prominently, in the normal field of vision. They should take precedence over all other signs in the area, with no need to compete for visual precedence. Guidelines have been established for heights at which fire safety signs should be fixed.

If you have any questions or concerns about the use of fire safety signs, contact your local enforcing authority (most likely the fire authority). If you have existing fire safety signs, and they are already in compliance with current regulations, you shouldn't have to make any changes. Some signs that complied with different regulations, in order to obtain a fire certificate for instance, will also work, because the same basic sign pattern is followed, even if details are different.
