Do not use on live electrical equipment sign

The Do Not Use On Live Electrical Equipment Sign is designed to clearly warn employees, contractors, visitors and other users that the identified fire fighting equipment, extinguishing medium or substance must not be used on live electrical equipment. Featuring a clear and highly visible prohibition message, this sign helps prevent inappropriate fire fighting equipment from being used where an electrical hazard remains present.

Suitable for offices, factories, warehouses, workshops, schools, colleges, hospitals, hotels, retail premises, plant rooms, manufacturing facilities and other commercial or industrial environments, this sign can be positioned directly above or adjacent to the relevant fire extinguisher, hose, water supply or other equipment that is unsuitable for use on energised electrical equipment.

Using an unsuitable extinguishing medium on live electrical equipment can expose the user to serious risks. Conductive substances may allow electrical current to travel towards the person operating the equipment, creating a potential electric shock or electrocution hazard. The incorrect extinguishing medium may also be ineffective or contribute to further damage.

The Do Not Use On Live Electrical Equipment message provides an important point of use warning before someone attempts to tackle a fire involving electrical equipment. This is particularly useful where water based extinguishers, fire hoses or other equipment may be located close to electrical installations, machinery, switchgear, control panels or appliances.

Clearly displayed signage helps distinguish equipment that is unsuitable for live electrical hazards from other fire fighting equipment provided within the premises. Appropriate extinguishers should be selected according to the fire risks identified within the relevant fire risk assessment, and users should understand the limitations and intended applications of the equipment provided.

The Do Not Use On Live Electrical Equipment Sign can form part of a wider fire safety identification system alongside extinguisher identification signs, fire point signs, electrical hazard signs, fire alarm call point signs and fire action notices. Clear and consistent signage can help reduce confusion and reinforce correct equipment selection during an emergency.

Where possible and safe to do so, electrical equipment should be isolated from its power supply in accordance with established emergency procedures. Personnel should only attempt to fight a fire when it is safe and appropriate to do so. Raising the alarm and following the premises emergency evacuation arrangements should remain the priority.

Manufactured from durable, high quality materials with excellent print clarity and visibility, the Do Not Use On Live Electrical Equipment Sign provides a professional and long lasting solution for communicating an important fire and electrical safety restriction. It helps prevent inappropriate use of fire fighting equipment and supports safer emergency procedures around live electrical installations and equipment.
