Fire Fighter's Switch - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A Fire Fighter's Switch sign is used to clearly mark the location of a fire fighter’s switch, which is a specially designed switch used to isolate high-voltage equipment—typically neon signs, floodlighting, or other electrical installations—during a fire or emergency. This switch allows emergency services to safely cut power, reducing the risk of electric shock and making it safer to tackle the fire.

Using this sign is crucial for both safety and compliance with fire safety regulations, especially where high-voltage or illuminated signage is installed. It ensures that fire fighters or trained personnel can quickly identify and operate the switch without confusion or delay, helping to protect both people and property.

This sign should be used in buildings with external or internal high-voltage electrical equipment, such as cinemas, theatres, nightclubs, shopping centres, factories, and large commercial buildings. It's especially important where illuminated signage, high-intensity lighting, or large power systems are in place.

For effectiveness, the Fire Fighter's Switch sign must be installed directly next to or above the switch, in a clearly visible and unobstructed location. It should remain legible at all times, even in poor lighting conditions or during an emergency, to ensure a swift and safe response.
