A4 - Fire Exit - Straight / Up - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Clearly indicate the direction of the nearest fire exit, helping building occupants evacuate safely in the event of an emergency. These signs are essential for guiding people along escape routes, especially in complex buildings, low-light conditions, or situations where visibility may be reduced by smoke or panic. By providing clear directional information, the sign helps prevent confusion and ensures an orderly evacuation.

You should place this sign along designated escape routes, particularly at junctions, corridors, stairwells, or other points where the exit direction may not be immediately obvious. The “Straight / Up” version is specifically used to indicate that the exit route continues straight ahead or involves moving upwards, such as up a flight of stairs.

The sign can also be used in conjunction with other directional fire exit signs to create a continuous, easy-to-follow path from various points in the building to the final exit. This is especially important in large buildings, multi-story structures, or areas with multiple corridors and junctions, where clear guidance is critical for safe evacuation.

Overall, an A4 – Fire Exit – Straight / Up sign is an essential part of a building’s fire safety system. It improves occupant safety by providing clear, visible guidance along escape routes, supports compliance with fire regulations, and ensures that evacuation procedures can be carried out quickly and efficiently in an emergency.
