Do Not Use Lift Signage

Do not use lift signage helps you clearly communicate that lifts must not be used during specific situations such as a fire, ensuring people choose safer escape routes. You should install these signs directly on lift doors, beside call buttons and in nearby corridors or stair access points where decisions are made. By positioning them at eye level and within clear sightlines, you ensure the warning is seen immediately before anyone attempts to use the lift.

When you introduce do not use lift signage, you create a safer environment where occupants are guided towards appropriate evacuation routes without confusion. Your staff and visitors can make the correct decision quickly, helping to reduce risk and support a more effective emergency response. The result is improved safety, clearer communication and a building where critical instructions are easy to recognise and follow when it matters most.
