5 Point Fire Action Notice - Welsh English Fire Action Notice

This 5 Point Fire Action Notice Welsh English Sign provides five essential fire emergency instructions in both Welsh and English, helping occupants understand the basic actions required during a fire evacuation. The sign covers sounding the alarm, leaving the building by the nearest available exit, reporting to the assembly point, waiting for authorisation before returning to the building and not using lifts.

The bilingual format makes this Fire Action Notice particularly suitable for workplaces, public buildings and other premises throughout Wales where safety information in both Welsh and English is required or preferred. Presenting the same essential instructions in both languages helps provide consistent fire safety information for Welsh and English speaking occupants.

The Welsh Pan Fo Tan section and corresponding English Fire Action section are displayed together, allowing employees, visitors, contractors and members of the public to quickly identify the emergency instructions applicable to them.

The first instruction, Canwch Y Larwm or Sound The Alarm, reinforces the importance of immediately alerting other occupants when a fire is discovered. Promptly raising the alarm allows the premises emergency procedures to begin and helps give occupants as much time as possible to move away from danger.

The exact method used to raise the alarm will depend on the arrangements within the particular premises. This may involve operating the nearest manual fire alarm call point or following another established emergency procedure.

Fire alarm call points should remain clearly visible, readily accessible and free from obstruction. Staff should understand how the fire alarm system is activated and the actions they are expected to take if they discover a fire.

The second instruction directs occupants to leave the building by the nearest available exit. During an evacuation, people should use the nearest safe escape route rather than automatically attempting to leave by the entrance they normally use.

Where a normal escape route is affected by fire, smoke or another hazard, occupants should use an alternative safe route. Appropriate Fire Exit and directional escape signs can help people identify suitable emergency exits and escape routes throughout the premises.

Fire exits, corridors, stairways and other designated escape routes should remain clear and accessible at all times. Furniture, stock, equipment, waste and stored materials should not be allowed to obstruct routes that may be required during an emergency evacuation.

The third instruction, Ewch I'r Man Ymgynnull or Report To Assembly Point, requires occupants to proceed to the designated assembly location after leaving the building. An assembly point provides an organised location where evacuated employees, visitors and contractors can gather away from the incident.

Reporting to the correct assembly point can support procedures for accounting for building occupants and identifying anyone who may be missing. Once at the assembly point, occupants should remain there and follow any further instructions provided by the person in charge or the Fire and Rescue Service.

The fourth instruction clearly tells occupants not to return to the building until authorised to do so. Even when there are no visible signs of fire from outside, smoke, heat or other hazards may remain within the premises and emergency operations may still be taking place.

Re-entry should only take place once an appropriate responsible person or the Fire and Rescue Service has confirmed that it is safe. Occupants should not return to the building simply to retrieve personal belongings, equipment or other property.

The fifth instruction, Peidiwch A Defnyddio'r Lifftiau or Do Not Use The Lifts, reminds occupants that ordinary passenger lifts should not normally be used during a fire evacuation. Fire, smoke, electrical failure or the operation of building safety systems could affect normal lift operation.

Where a building has a specifically designed evacuation lift or another approved lift evacuation arrangement, its use should follow the premises fire strategy and emergency plan. The general instruction not to use lifts should not override a formally established procedure involving designated evacuation equipment.

The simple five point layout makes this bilingual Fire Action Notice suitable for premises where concise and easily understood emergency instructions are required without extensive site specific information.

This 5 Point Fire Action Notice Welsh English Sign is suitable for offices, factories, warehouses, workshops, schools, colleges, universities, healthcare premises, shops, hotels, leisure facilities, local authority buildings, commercial premises, industrial sites and public buildings throughout Wales.

The sign should be positioned in prominent locations where occupants can easily see and read the instructions. Suitable positions may include entrances, corridors, stairways, reception areas, communal areas, staff notice boards and locations close to fire alarm call points where appropriate.

This bilingual Fire Action Notice can form part of a wider fire safety signage system alongside Welsh English Fire Exit, Fire Alarm Call Point, Fire Assembly Point, Fire Extinguisher, Fire Door and directional escape route signs, helping provide consistent fire safety information throughout the premises.

The wording displayed should accurately reflect the emergency arrangements for the particular building. Premises operating specialist procedures such as phased evacuation, progressive horizontal evacuation, simultaneous evacuation or a stay put strategy may require more detailed site specific fire action instructions.

Fire action signage should complement rather than replace a suitable fire risk assessment, emergency plan, staff fire safety training, evacuation drills, maintained fire detection and alarm systems, appropriate firefighting equipment and clearly maintained escape routes.

Manufactured from durable, high quality materials with excellent print clarity and visibility, this 5 Point Fire Action Notice Welsh English Sign provides a professional and long lasting solution for displaying essential bilingual fire emergency instructions to Welsh and English speaking occupants.
