Fire Shutter Sign

The Fire Shutter Sign provides clear and highly visible identification of a fire shutter installed as part of a buildings fire protection and compartmentation arrangements. Correctly positioned signage helps employees, facilities managers, maintenance personnel, contractors and other building users recognise that the shutter performs an important fire safety function and should not be obstructed, altered or interfered with.

Suitable for factories, warehouses, shopping centres, retail premises, hospitals, schools, hotels, commercial kitchens, service counters, industrial buildings and other premises fitted with fire resisting shutters, this sign can be positioned directly on or adjacent to the relevant shutter or its operating area.

Fire shutters are designed to close an opening within a fire resisting construction when required, helping maintain compartmentation and restrict the spread of fire and hot gases between different areas of a building. Depending on the installation, a shutter may operate automatically following activation of the fire alarm or detection system, or it may incorporate specific manual controls.

Clearly identifying a fire shutter is particularly important where the installation resembles an ordinary security shutter, roller shutter or service hatch. A dedicated Fire Shutter Sign helps make users aware that the shutter forms part of the buildings fire safety arrangements and should not be treated as ordinary access or security equipment.

The area beneath and around a fire shutter should be kept clear so that the shutter can close fully when activated. Stock, furniture, equipment, displays, waste containers or other objects should not be positioned where they could obstruct the shutters movement or prevent it from reaching its intended closed position.

Where a fire shutter operates automatically, personnel working nearby should be made aware of its operation and any associated hazards. Suitable precautions should be taken to reduce the risk of injury from a moving shutter, particularly where people, vehicles or materials regularly pass through the protected opening.

Fire shutters may incorporate controls, detectors, alarm interfaces, motors, release mechanisms, safety devices and other components. These should not be tampered with or disabled, as doing so could affect the ability of the shutter to operate correctly during a fire.

The Fire Shutter Sign can form part of a wider fire safety identification system alongside Fire Door Keep Shut signs, Automatic Fire Door signs, Fire Damper signs, Fire Flap signs, Smoke Vent signs and other notices used to identify equipment and construction features that help restrict the spread of fire and smoke.

Fire shutters and their associated controls should be appropriately inspected, tested and maintained by competent persons in accordance with the requirements applicable to the particular installation. Testing should confirm that the shutter operates correctly and that its closing path remains free from obstruction.

Any damage, alteration or fault that could affect the operation or fire resisting performance of the shutter should be investigated and addressed promptly. The sign itself should also remain visible and legible and should be replaced if it becomes damaged, faded or obscured.

Signage should complement rather than replace appropriate fire compartmentation, fire risk assessment, maintenance, testing, staff information and emergency procedures. The precise operation and maintenance requirements of a fire shutter will depend on the particular product, installation and buildings fire safety design.

Manufactured from durable, high quality materials with excellent print clarity and visibility, the Fire Shutter Sign provides a professional and long lasting solution for identifying an important fire protection feature. It helps improve awareness, discourage obstruction and interference and support the effective inspection and maintenance of fire shutters within the premises.
