About this deal

The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 (the Safety Signs Regulations) implement European Council Directive 92/58/EEC on minimum requirements for the provision of safety signs at work. This guidance is aimed at helping employers meet their responsibilities under these Regulations. Summary We hope this guide about all of the different categories of fire signage has been useful to you. In summary, if you are responsible for the fire safety of commercial premises, these are the signs that you must have and may need to have.

Other fire equipment signs – if you have a hose reel or a dry riser, you will need to signpost them The Grenfell Tower Inquiry noted in the Phase 1 report that “When the firefighters attended the fire at Grenfell Tower, they were unable to operate the mechanism that should have allowed them to take control of the lifts.” The Inquiry recommended (Recommendations 33.13(a) and (b)) that the owner and manager of every high-rise residential building be required by law to carry out regular inspections of any lifts that are designed to be used by firefighters and to report these results to the fire and rescue service at monthly intervals and that they also be required to undertake tests of the mechanism which allows firefighters to take control of the lifts and to inform the fire rescue service monthly that they have undertaken them. [footnote 3]However, the same guidance also notes that “normal lifts may be considered suitable for fire evacuation purposes, subject to an adequate fire risk assessment and development of a suitable fire safety strategy by a competent person”. Prohibition signs give ‘Do Not…’ style warnings in areas where there is a specific risk of fire. These are frequently used in conjunction with Warning signs, for example to prohibit smoking in an area where there are flammable materials. Somehow if you can’t get out of the building, then you’re going to be in danger. Once the fire begins to spread, the smoke can easily flood the elevator shaft. This will suffocate anyone in the elevator at the time, and so is extremely dangerous. The movement of the elevator will act as a billows in the building, pushing air around and making it even easier for the fire to spread. Does this mean that when there is no fire I should always use the elevator? Or is it optional? What defines my choice? Use being either "to deal with fire" or "as you would normally" is a big one. Only because the elevators are not something you'd consider putting a fire out would this be unlikely.

Stay together: If you’re with others when the alarm is raised, ensure that you stay together as you evacuate. This will ensure that you are all safe. From the above, it can be concluded that the responsible person will need to ensure that there is a process in place to identify those needing assistance and what floor they are located on. This can be achieved through the completion of Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs) that are made known to the evacuation wardens. A review of the building design including building characterisation and environs, occupant characterisation and fire safety management. Responsible persons are not required to report faults in passenger lifts which are not for use by firefighters, do not have a switch control to allow firefighters to take control or cannot be used as evacuation lifts to the fire and rescue service. Requirement to report faults to the fire and rescue serviceBD 2466 Guidance on the Emergency Use of Lifts or Escalators for Evacuation and Fire and Rescue Services Operations (2006) from the Government, states that the use of lifts in an evacuation strategy can have a number of benefits.

Depending on the type of exits you have, you may also need to provide instructions on how to operate the door, or indicate that a door opens automatically. Fire door signs – mandatory examples Note: PAS 7 has now been replaced by BS 9997:2019 Fire Risk Management Systems. Requirements with Guidance for Use. You may also need to take into consideration the type of occupants who will need to evacuate the building in the event of fire, making sure that the Fire Assembly Point is suitable for the young, old or disabled. Fire assembly point safety signs – examples 3. Fire equipment signs Fire Action Notices state clear and easy-to-read instructions, and often include the following phrases:The only exception to stairs being the fastest way out for most people is in extremely tall buildings, where high speed, high tech lifts could ferry people out rapidly, avoiding floors affected by fire and ensuring trips are timed for maximum efficiency. But if fire and smoke have encroached into the elevator shafts, then taking the lift may no longer be an option. Spreading Smoke At Coopers Fire, we’re always developing our fire curtains, smoke curtains and fire safety courses to keep us at the cutting edge of fire safety. Get in touch Which elevator. The left one? The right one? Any elevator? In all buildings? Only on this floor? Can I go one floor down in the floor that is not (yet) on fire, and use that elevator? Often warning signs and prohibition signs are combined into one fire safety notice. Combined warning and prohibition signs – examples Summary The (supposed) ambiguity would be that you could try to use the elevator to combat the fire. Honestly, this is a vast exaggeration, nobody in their sane mind would think that.

In terms of fire safety, you will generally need a fire warning sign when you have flammable substances on the premises, such as gas or oil. Fire safety warning signs – examples Prohibition signs Your fire assembly point should be far enough away from the building to avoid interference with the fire brigade and danger from falling debris caused by the fire. This means it needs to be clearly signposted. If you’re not sure if you can handle the fire, it’s best not to attempt it. If you can’t, raise the alarm and evacuate as soon as possible. Some Fire Action Sign variations contain writable sections on the sign - these can be filled in to suit the fire plan of your organisation (such as where your Fire Assembly Point is located or the number to call the Fire Brigade). E.g. you are a mathematician / engineer, and you are tasked with coming up with rules that a robot could follow. You are given this sentence and are asked to design a rule for the robot. Even within the limits of the intended meaning, we still have a lot of ambiguity:fire detection and fire alarm systems including any detectors linked to ancillary equipment such as smoke control systems (in the common parts) BS 9999 provides a useful list of factors to be considered when assessing the use of a passenger lift, including the: Health and safety legislation require fire safety and emergency signage to be put in place. Whether you own a shop, student accommodation or an office you have a responsibility to comply with the relevant legislation. A basic principle for the display of fire action notices is that all visitors and staff within the building should be able to see at least one fire action sign on their way to their destination.
