Generally smaller in size to fit into every corridor, these signs outline the immediate steps and actions to take when a fire is discovered.
In the UK, every workplace and public building must have appropriate fire safety signage as described by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996.
Foamex Printing Company delivers high-quality photoluminescent fire action signs that shine in the dark, ensuring the steps on what to do during a fire are visible in all conditions.

UK Compliance and Regulations for Fire Action Notice Signs
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, individuals and entities responsible for a building need to carry out a fire risk assessment and set up appropriate measures to ensure the safety of the people inside at all times.
As a part of this assessment, clear instructions and information about emergency procedures need to be provided throughout the premises.
Moreover, in the UK, the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 ask employers to use safety signs. Especially for areas or buildings where risk from fire cannot be completely eliminated or controlled by other measures.
Here, fire action notice signs serve as an essential communication tool for occupants and guide them towards safety.
The UK Standards BS 5499 and BS EN ISO 7010 set out the colour coding for these notice signs.
Also specified by BS 5499-4, these signs also need to have a photoluminescent coating to ensure they remain visible at night.
