Fire Blanket Signs give you clear step-by-step guidance for smothering small kitchen and clothing fires. They help staff, visitors, carers and catering teams act calmly near fire blanket points in kitchens, food rooms, workshops and shared workplaces.

Where Fire Blanket Instruction Signs Should Be Fitted

You should install these signs directly above, beside or immediately behind fire blanket containers, especially near cookers, canteen appliances, food preparation benches and clothing-risk work areas, so the instructions are visible before anyone reaches for the blanket.

Viewing Distance Guidance for Fire Blanket Signs

Choose the size by how quickly the sign must be read. Use smaller signs for close-up wall reading and larger formats where people approach from a corridor, kitchen entrance or wider work area.

Size option	Best viewing use	Practical distance
H 100 x W 150 mm	Close fire blanket point	Up to 2 metres
H 150 x W 200 mm	Busy kitchens and shared rooms	Up to 4 metres

What Improves Once Fire Blanket Instructions Are Visible

Clear instructions help you reduce hesitation at the exact point of use. People can see that the blanket is for smothering flames, covering the burning material fully and leaving it covered until safe, rather than guessing under pressure.

✅ Faster recognition of the correct fire blanket action

✅ Less panic around kitchen and clothing fire incidents

✅ Clearer discard-after-use behaviour after deployment

? Customers Questions

Fire Blanket Signs questions answered

What are Fire Blanket Signs used for? Fire Blanket Signs show people where the fire blanket is and how to use it for smothering suitable small fires, especially kitchen and clothing fire incidents.

Should this sign go above or beside the fire blanket? Place it where it can be read before the blanket is pulled, normally above, beside or immediately behind the fire blanket container.

Can this sign replace fire blanket training? No. It supports quick action at the point of use, but your staff should still understand when a fire blanket is appropriate and when evacuation is safer.

Is this suitable for kitchens? Yes, it is particularly useful in kitchens, canteens, food preparation rooms and similar areas where small pan or clothing fire risks may exist.

Why does the sign say discard after use? A used fire blanket may be heat-damaged or contaminated, so the sign reminds you to remove and replace it after an incident.
