Fire blanket id sign

The Fire Blanket Sign provides clear and highly visible identification of the location of a fire blanket, helping employees, building occupants and other authorised users quickly locate this important piece of firefighting equipment when required. Positioning the sign directly above or adjacent to the fire blanket makes the equipment easier to identify, particularly in busy or unfamiliar environments.

Suitable for commercial kitchens, restaurants, cafes, hotels, pubs, canteens, schools, hospitals, care homes, laboratories, workshops, offices and other premises where fire blankets are provided, this sign offers a simple and effective way to clearly mark their location.

Fire blankets are designed to smother certain small fires by covering the burning material and restricting the oxygen available to the fire. They are commonly provided in kitchens and catering environments where cooking equipment and combustible materials can present a fire risk.

Where appropriate for the particular fire blanket and circumstances, a fire blanket may be used on a small cooking fire such as a contained pan fire. Users should follow the instructions supplied with the fire blanket and should never attempt to fight a fire where doing so would place them at unnecessary risk.

A Fire Blanket Sign can be particularly useful where the blanket container blends into its surroundings or where several items of emergency equipment are installed in the same area. The clear identification helps users distinguish the fire blanket from fire extinguishers, first aid equipment and other emergency facilities.

The fire blanket should be positioned in an accessible location where it can be reached without requiring a person to move dangerously close to a developing fire. Access should not be obstructed by furniture, stock, kitchen equipment, stored materials or other objects.

Fire blankets should be used in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. If a fire is too large, spreading rapidly or producing significant heat or smoke, occupants should follow the premises emergency procedures, raise the alarm, evacuate to a place of safety and contact the Fire and Rescue Service as appropriate.

The Fire Blanket Sign can form part of a wider fire safety identification system alongside Fire Extinguisher signs, Fire Point signs, Fire Hose Reel signs, Fire Alarm Call Point signs and Fire Action notices. Consistent identification of firefighting equipment can help building users locate the appropriate equipment more quickly.

Fire blankets and their containers should be routinely checked to ensure they remain present, accessible and in suitable condition. A blanket that has been used should not simply be folded and returned to its container unless the manufacturer specifically permits reuse and it has been confirmed as suitable for further service.

The sign itself should remain clearly visible and legible and should not be covered by notices, shelving, equipment or decorations. Damaged, faded or obscured signage should be replaced to maintain effective identification of the fire blanket location.

Signage should complement rather than replace an appropriate fire risk assessment, emergency procedures, staff information, training and suitable provision of firefighting equipment. The type and location of equipment provided should be appropriate for the hazards and activities present within the premises.

Manufactured from durable, high quality materials with excellent print clarity and visibility, the Fire Blanket Sign provides a professional and long lasting solution for identifying essential firefighting equipment. It helps improve fire blanket visibility, support emergency preparedness and ensure the equipment can be quickly located when required.
