What legislation covers fire exit signage in UK workplaces? ▼
Fire safety signage is governed by the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Employers should ensure escape routes and exit doors are visibly marked when a risk assessment identifies a need.
Does this fire exit sign meet official fire exit signage standards? ▼
This fire exit sign complies to common requirements by using standard green-and-white colouring and the recognised “running-man” exit pictogram. It is made to be in line with BS 5499 or ISO 7010 guidance, and satisfy legal signal requirements under UK regulations.
What material options are available for this sign? ▼
This fire exit sign is available either as self adhesive or as a 1.2 mm rigid plastic.
Where should I position the sign for compliance? ▼
For the highest level of visibility, it is advised to mount the sign at eye level or between 1.5 m and 2.0 m from the floor; ideally above or beside the fire exit door. Additionally, it is important to make sure nothing obstructs it (e.g. furniture, equipment, open doors).
