Fire Alarm In Case Of Fire Break Glass Xtra-Glo Signs help staff, visitors and contractors identify alarm activation points in corridors, exits and fire door areas, supporting faster emergency action.
Fire Alarm In Case Of Fire Break Glass Xtra-Glo Signs combine call point and break-glass instructions in one photoluminescent fire safety sign, helping you guide staff, visitors and contractors to activate the alarm quickly in corridors, exit routes, reception areas and fire door locations.
Where Fire Alarm Break Glass Xtra-Glo Signs Should Be Positioned
You should install this sign directly beside or above fire alarm call points, break-glass units, final exits, stair approaches and fire door routes. It works best where people may pause, turn a corner or search for the alarm during poor lighting, smoke or evacuation pressure.
Viewing Distance Guidance for Clear Emergency Reading
For a compact H100 x W200mm sign, treat it as close-range fire safety guidance. Use it where people pass within a few metres, then position larger directional fire signs further back if the call point must be found from a longer corridor approach.
| Size option | Practical viewing range | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| H100 x W200mm | Approx. 2–4 metres | Beside call points, break-glass units, doors and corridor decision points |
What This Sign Helps People Do During a Fire Alarm Situation
