Fire Point Plastic Signs
Fire Point Plastic Sign helps you identify the location of a fire alarm point quickly, using a clear red fire safety layout for staff, visitors and contractors in workplaces, schools, warehouses and shared public buildings where fast action matters.
Where You Should Fit Fire Point Plastic Signs
You should install this sign directly above or beside the fire alarm call point, at eye level where people naturally approach. Good placement helps you reduce hesitation, prevents the call point being missed and supports faster alarm activation during an emergency.
Viewing Distance Guidance for Fire Point Sign Placement
For a 400mm wide fire point sign, keep the approach route clear and aim for visibility from around 8–10 metres in normal indoor lighting. In longer corridors, entrances or busy work areas, position repeat signs before the alarm point is reached.
| Size option | Suggested viewing distance | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| H 200 x W 400mm | Approx. 8–10 metres | Corridors, exits, reception points, workshops and call point locations |
What Should Improve Once This Fire Point Sign Is Fitted
