Fire Action Sign with Operate Alarm Auto Dial with Lift - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A Fire Action safety sign with messages such as "Operate the nearest fire alarm point,” "Fire Brigade will be called automatically,” "Leave the building by the nearest exit,” "Report to assembly point,” "Do not stop to collect personal belongings,” and "Do not use lifts” is used to provide clear, step-by-step instructions to building occupants during a fire emergency. The sign ensures that everyone knows how to respond quickly and safely, reducing the risk of injury, confusion, or delays in evacuation. It reinforces the correct procedures to follow, helping occupants evacuate efficiently while supporting emergency services.

This sign should be installed in prominent locations throughout a building, including near main entrances, stairwells, lift lobbies, corridors, and fire alarm points. Placement at eye level ensures that it is easily seen by employees, visitors, and contractors. In large or multi-story buildings, multiple signs should be positioned strategically so that instructions are visible from all occupied areas.

Using a Fire Action safety sign enhances workplace and public safety by providing a consistent, easily understood reference for emergency behaviour. It reminds occupants to activate alarms, leave the building immediately, avoid lifts, and proceed directly to the designated assembly point. By clearly communicating these instructions, the sign helps prevent panic, ensures orderly evacuation, and reduces the risk of casualties.

Ultimately, this sign is essential for fire safety compliance and emergency preparedness. By providing clear, visible guidance on the correct actions to take during a fire, it protects lives, supports regulatory compliance, and fosters a safety-conscious environment in offices, schools, hospitals, hotels, and public buildings.
