Fire Blanket Identification signs are important because they clearly indicate the location and purpose of a fire blanket, enabling quick access in the event of a fire. Fire blankets are effective for smothering small fires by cutting off the oxygen supply—especially pan fires in kitchens and clothing fires on a person. Prompt recognition of their location through signage can help prevent injuries and stop a fire from spreading.
Fire blankets are often stored in compact, wall-mounted cases, which can be easily overlooked during an emergency. The identification sign helps ensure that anyone—trained or untrained—can quickly locate and use the blanket without hesitation. The signage typically includes visual symbols and text indicating appropriate use, such as for kitchen or clothing fires, reducing the risk of misuse.
These signs should be installed directly above or next to the fire blanket container, in high-risk areas where small fires are most likely to occur. Common installation points include commercial and domestic kitchens, school science labs, food trucks, workshops, and industrial units. In kitchens especially, a fire blanket is essential for dealing with oil or fat fires that cannot be safely extinguished with water.
By using Fire Blanket Identification signs, workplaces and homes enhance their overall fire safety systems. The signs improve response times, support correct use, and ensure compliance with fire safety best practices. Clear, visible signage is a simple yet vital step in ensuring that fire blankets serve their life-saving purpose effectively.

Rigid Plastic: This lightweight, gloss white PVC is resistant to weather, moisture, chemicals, and general wear and tear, making it suitable for harsh environments. Its smooth, solid surface allows for crisp printing of text and graphics, enhancing readability and visual impact. Businesses who choose Rigid Plastic signs benefit from fewer replacements and minimal maintenance, making it a practical investment for reliable and effective safety signs.
Self-Adhesive Vinyl: Self-adhesive vinyl is easy to apply and it’s budget-friendly. Its adhesive backing allows for easy application to a variety of surfaces such as glass, metal, plastic, and painted walls, which simplifies installation and reduces setup time. Self-adhesive vinyl provides a clean, professional finish that suits many indoor environments including offices, retail, industrial sites, and vehicles. It is more affordable than many other material types and allows for custom shapes, colours, and graphics.

To achieve high performance in low light conditions and conform to ISO 16069 we recommend using Ultra Bright.
