Safety Signage
Clear Fire and Safety Signage for Commercial and Public Premises Across Scotland
Clear safety signage helps people understand where to go, what to do and which equipment to use during an emergency. Correctly positioned signs can support a safer evacuation, identify important fire safety equipment and communicate essential instructions throughout a building.
Safety signage should form part of a wider fire protection strategy that may also include extinguishers, emergency lighting and fire alarm systems. Logic Alarm Systems can help businesses review these different elements and create a more coordinated approach to fire safety.
Fire Safety Signs for Your Premises
The signage required will depend on the size, layout and use of the building. This may include signs identifying fire exits, escape routes, firefighting equipment, emergency procedures and assembly points.
Signs should be easy to see, understand and follow, including in unfamiliar surroundings. Their positioning should reflect the routes people are expected to use during an emergency and remain visible from the relevant areas of the building.
We can help identify where additional or replacement signage may be required, whether you are fitting out new premises or reviewing an existing building.
Practical and Prestige Safety Signage
Alongside standard fire and safety signs, prestige signage can provide a more suitable finish for offices, hotels, reception areas and other customer-facing environments.
These signs can help maintain the appearance of a building while continuing to communicate important safety information clearly. Our team can help you select signage that is appropriate for both the setting and the message being displayed.
What fire safety signs does a workplace need?
Requirements vary between premises, but commonly used signs include fire exit signs, fire action notices, extinguisher identification signs and assembly point signs. The building’s fire risk assessment should help identify what is required.
Where should fire exit signs be positioned?
Fire exit signs should be placed where they clearly direct people towards a safe escape route. Additional signs may be needed at changes in direction, junctions, corridors and locations where the exit is not immediately visible.
Do fire extinguisher locations need signage?
Extinguisher identification signs help people locate equipment quickly and understand the type of fire for which it is intended. They are particularly useful where an extinguisher is not immediately visible or could be obscured.
Can safety signs be replaced without changing the full fire safety system?
Yes. Missing, damaged or outdated signage can usually be replaced independently. However, it is sensible to review the wider escape routes and equipment locations at the same time to ensure the signs remain accurate.
