Do i need fire exit keep clear signs?

All business premises in the UK must comply with the health and safety law and this means where you have fire exits around your premises you must comply with the law and display fire exit keep clear signage which lets others know the door is a fire exit and that it must be kept clear. If business owners flouted the law and didn't provide the right signage to keep fire exits clear it could result in fire exits becoming blocked with rubbish, unused furniture, bicycles, fire extinguishers and other obstacles which may cause people escaping the premises in the event of a fire have an accident, injury and delay any escape which could cause someone's death so it's vital that employers display some form of fire exit keep clear signage.

What is displayed on fire exit keep clear signs? this depends on the types of signs the property needs for example, on fire exit routes such as the final corridor or lobby leading to the fire exit door then fire exit keep clear signs with white text on a blue circular background can be displayed on both sides of the last door leading towards the fire exit and on the walls too, as these types are blue and white they carry a mandatory message that the fire exit must be kept clear.

In premises where fire exit keep clear signs are needed for displaying on the fire exit doors themselves then you need to display the dual message types of fire exit keep clear signs which feature 2 messages, the first message is to show people that this is a fire exit so the sign needs to have a pictogram of a person walking out of the fire exit alongside the message "Fire exit" to indicate the door is a fire exit, the second message in the dual fire exit keep clear sign is the keep clear message which features a pictogram of a white exclamation mark on a blue circular background which becomes the mandatory symbol meaning of you must do and alongside is the text "Keep clear" which has the meaning to keep clear making the complete sign read "Fire exit" "Keep Clear" for displaying on your fire exit doors.

Fire exit keep clear signs don't need to be glow in the dark signs unless the fire exit door cannot be seen during darkness or the current fire exit keep clear signage is not visible due to age or fading or the lobby or corridor is poorly lit then glow in the dark signage such as nite glo or xtra glo fire exit keep clear signs would be the ideal choice. When considering fire exit keep clear signs which glow in the dark note the viewing distance of the fire exit from the furthest visible point away, will nite glo be bright enough? will extra glo be too bright? remember when xtra glo signage has been fully charged under normal lighting it will glow very brightly for up to 24 hours which may provide lighting assistance to both people evacuating as well the the fire and rescue service.

Can i use fire exit keep clear signs outside? yes you can, it is recommended that fire exit keep clear signs be mounted and displayed on the exterior of fire doors and by doing this your letting others know it is a fire exit, for example if the fire exit opens up onto a car park you don't want cars blocking the door to stop it from opening or being blocked by rubbish bins. You can also display fire exit keep clear signs at the foot of fire escape steps where the fire exit door is on an upper level to keep the steps clear for escape at all times.

Where do i mount and display fire exit keep clear signs? the best option is around eye height for both walls and doors, basically the further the distance to the fire exit door the higher and larger the sign, fire marshals can regularly inspect the fire exit doors and look for hotspots in the corridors and lobbies leading to the fire exit where people have left obstacles in the past and you can mount fire exit keep clear signs in the same locations to help prevent any obstacles being left in the future which may hamper someone's escape.
