Fire Point - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

"Fire Point" safety signs are crucial for clearly identifying designated areas where fire safety equipment, such as extinguishers, hose reels, and alarms, is stored. In the event of a fire or emergency, these signs help individuals quickly locate the necessary tools to respond effectively. The clear visibility of a Fire Point sign ensures that anyone, even those unfamiliar with the building, can find and access firefighting equipment without delay. This rapid access is essential for controlling small fires before they escalate, potentially saving lives and minimising damage to property.

Beyond emergency response, Fire Point safety signs also support regulatory compliance and promote a proactive approach to fire safety. They act as constant visual reminders of emergency preparedness and encourage staff and visitors to stay aware of their surroundings. These signs contribute to an organised and efficient safety system within workplaces, schools, and public buildings. By marking fire equipment locations clearly, Fire Point signs help ensure that safety resources are always accessible and that response actions can be carried out swiftly and effectively when needed.

Under the Regulatory Reform - Fire Safety Order 2005 any non-automatic fire fighting equipment should be identified with an appropriate sign. The signs should be positioned and designed in accordance with BS EN ISO 722 to ensure maximum levels of comprehension.
