Where Fire Alarm Call Point Signs Should Be Fitted
You should install these signs directly above or beside each manual fire alarm call point, especially near exits, stair approaches, reception areas, workshops and corridor routes. Clear placement helps people spot the alarm point fast when smoke, noise or panic could slow their response.
