News & INSIGHTS

When ordering fire and safety signage, it’s crucial to ensure that the signs meet the necessary regulations. These regulations may vary depending on the location and industry of your business. For example, the NF EN ISO 7010 standard. This aims to regulate the graphic symbols, colours, shapes and sizes of all building signs in order to ensure people understand these essential signs. More recently, there has been legislation change brought about by the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, relating to a requirement for floor level and flat indicator signage in high rise residential properties. Our team is always on hand to ensure your fire and safety signage is compliant with these standards and regulations. 

The messaging on your fire and safety signage should be clear and concise. The sign should convey the necessary information quickly and effectively. This is especially important in emergency situations, where every second counts. Use simple language and clear graphics to ensure that anyone can understand the message.

The visibility of your fire and safety signage is essential. The sign should be placed in a prominent location where it can be easily seen. This allows people to easily locate fire safety signage and equipment, keeping them safe during emergency situations. Additionally, the sign should be visible from different angles and distances. Consider factors such as lighting, background, and contrast when choosing the location and design of your signage.

To provide ultimate visibility, choose HILUX® for your fire and safety signage. HILUX® offers photoluminescence to your signs, meaning they glow in the dark. This has a number of key benefits including enhanced visibility during power outages or other times of low lighting. This allows people to locate fire extinguishers, emergency exits and other critical equipment easily and safely. All HILUX® signs exceed the requirements of PSPA class C and stay brighter for longer than AAA-rated signage.

Finally, when ordering fire and safety signage, it’s essential to consider the delivery times. In emergency situations, you may need the signage as soon as possible. Therefore, make sure to choose a supplier that can deliver the signage within a reasonable timeframe. Additionally, consider factors such as shipping costs and tracking to ensure that the delivery process goes smoothly.
