Co2 Fire Extinguisher Construction Site Fire Point Signs
CO2 Fire Extinguisher Construction Site Fire Point Signs help you identify where a CO2 extinguisher is located, what it can be used on and when not to use it. They support contractors, visitors and site staff around temporary fire points, plant rooms and electrical work areas.
Where CO2 Construction Fire Point Signs Should Be Installed
You should install this sign directly above or beside CO2 extinguishers at construction fire points, temporary site offices, electrical intake rooms, generator compounds and plant access routes so users can read the instruction before lifting the extinguisher.

|---|---|---|
| H 400 x W 300 mm | Up to 10 metres | Cabins, internal routes, close fire points |
| H 600 x W 450 mm | Up to 18 metres | General construction walkways and work areas |
