Fire Alarm Call Point Signs
Fire Alarm Call Point Signs identify where you or your staff can manually raise the fire alarm. Used beside call points in offices, schools, warehouses and public buildings, they reduce hesitation, improve visibility and help people act quickly during an emergency.
Where Fire Alarm Call Point Signs Should Be Installed
You should install this sign directly above or beside each manual call point, close enough to remove doubt but not covering the device. Use it in corridors, exits, receptions, stairwells and shared work areas where fast recognition matters.
Viewing Distance Guidance For Fire Alarm Call Point Signs
For a 100 × 200 mm fire alarm call point sign, keep the message readable from normal approach routes. Position it where a person walking towards the alarm can recognise it from around 2–4 metres without searching.
| Size option | Practical viewing range | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| H 100 × W 200 mm | Approx. 2–4 metres | Beside or above call points on approach routes |
What Should Improve Once This Sign Is Fitted
Once installed, the sign helps people connect the red call point with the action they need to take. That matters during drills, real evacuations and unfamiliar visits, when seconds can be lost through hesitation.
