Fire action fire instructions to staff sign

The Fire Action Fire Instructions To Staff Sign provides clear and easily accessible information explaining the actions members of staff should take if they discover a fire or hear the fire alarm. Displaying fire action instructions in prominent workplace locations helps reinforce emergency procedures and provides staff with an immediate reminder of their responsibilities during a fire emergency.

The sign is suitable for offices, factories, warehouses, workshops, schools, hospitals, care facilities, hotels, shops, restaurants, public buildings and other workplaces where employees need clear information about the premises fire emergency arrangements.

Fire action instructions typically explain how staff should raise the alarm when a fire is discovered. Depending on the premises, this may involve operating the nearest manual fire alarm call point, activating another alarm system or following a specific site procedure for alerting other occupants.

Staff should understand how the Fire and Rescue Service is contacted in accordance with the premises emergency plan. Where the procedure requires a nominated person to make the emergency call, employees should know who is responsible and what action to take if that person is unavailable.

Clear evacuation instructions help remind staff that they should leave the building promptly using the appropriate escape route and proceed to the designated assembly point where one is provided. Lifts should not normally be used for evacuation unless they are specifically designed and designated for that purpose within the buildings fire strategy.

Employees should not delay evacuation to collect personal belongings or return to an affected area unless specifically instructed by the emergency services or an authorised person after the area has been confirmed safe.

The sign can help reinforce the importance of keeping fire exits, escape routes, corridors, stairways and final exit doors clear. Staff should be familiar with alternative escape routes where applicable so that they are not dependent on a single route during an emergency.

Where designated fire wardens or fire marshals are appointed, the sign can support the wider procedures used to coordinate evacuation. Fire wardens may have additional responsibilities such as directing occupants, checking designated areas where safe to do so and reporting information at the assembly point.

Any staff member expected to use portable firefighting equipment should receive appropriate information and instruction. Fire extinguishers should only be used where the correct equipment is available, the fire is small enough to tackle safely and a clear means of escape remains available.

If a fire is spreading rapidly, producing significant smoke or presents any other immediate danger, staff should prioritise raising the alarm and evacuating rather than attempting to fight the fire. Nobody should place themselves at unnecessary risk.

Fire doors should be closed where required by the premises emergency procedures, provided this can be done safely. Closing fire doors can help maintain fire compartmentation and restrict the spread of fire and smoke through a building.

At the assembly point, staff should follow the premises arrangements for accounting for employees, visitors and contractors. People should remain at the designated safe location and should not re-enter the building until authorised to do so.

The Fire Action Fire Instructions To Staff Sign should be displayed where employees can easily see and read it, such as staff entrances, notice boards, reception areas, corridors, canteens, changing rooms, offices and other appropriate workplace locations. The exact positioning should reflect the layout and fire safety arrangements of the premises.

Fire action information should accurately reflect the actual emergency procedures for the building. Details such as assembly points, alarm arrangements, emergency contact procedures and specific staff responsibilities should be reviewed whenever the building layout, occupancy or fire safety arrangements change.

The sign can form part of a wider workplace fire safety signage system alongside Fire Exit, Fire Alarm Call Point, Fire Extinguisher, Fire Assembly Point, Fire Door and Fire Marshal signs, helping provide consistent and easily recognised fire safety information throughout the premises.

Fire action signage should complement rather than replace a suitable fire risk assessment, emergency plan, staff fire safety training, evacuation drills, correctly maintained alarm systems, firefighting equipment and clearly maintained escape routes. Employees should receive appropriate instruction so they understand the procedures rather than relying solely on the information displayed on the sign.

Manufactured from durable, high quality materials with excellent print clarity and visibility, the Fire Action Fire Instructions To Staff Sign provides a professional and long lasting solution for communicating essential workplace fire procedures and helping staff understand the actions required during a fire emergency.
