Fire Door Keep Shut (English / Polish) - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A “Fire Door Keep Shut (English / Polish)” sign is important because it clearly communicates, in both English and Polish, that the fire door must remain closed at all times to maintain its effectiveness in preventing the spread of fire and smoke. Bilingual signage ensures that a wider range of occupants and staff, including Polish speakers, understand the critical safety message, promoting compliance and reducing the risk of fire doors being left open unintentionally.

The sign serves as a constant visual reminder that fire doors are not ordinary doors—they are part of the building’s passive fire protection system. Keeping these doors shut helps contain fire within designated compartments, protecting escape routes and giving occupants more time to evacuate safely.

These signs should be installed directly on or next to fire doors, preferably at eye level where they are highly visible to everyone entering or exiting. They are commonly used in workplaces, public buildings, and residential blocks where there is a significant presence of Polish-speaking individuals, such as factories, warehouses, offices, and community centres.

Using a bilingual “Fire Door Keep Shut” sign helps improve fire safety awareness across diverse populations, ensuring that all occupants understand the importance of keeping fire doors closed. This contributes to a safer environment by maintaining the door’s protective function and supporting effective fire containment during emergencies.
