Hotel Guest House Fire action Sign

The Hotel Guest House Fire Action Sign provides clear and easily understood emergency instructions for guests, visitors and staff within hotels, guest houses and other accommodation premises. Displaying appropriate fire action information helps occupants understand what they should do if they discover a fire or hear the fire alarm.

Guests staying in unfamiliar accommodation may not know the layout of the building, location of the nearest fire exit or the emergency procedures used by the premises. Clearly displayed fire action signage provides an important visual reminder of the steps they should follow during an emergency.

The sign is suitable for hotels, guest houses, bed and breakfast accommodation, inns, hostels, serviced accommodation, holiday accommodation and other premises providing sleeping accommodation to guests.

Fire action information may include instructions for raising the alarm, leaving the building by the nearest available escape route and proceeding to the designated assembly point. The exact wording displayed should correspond with the fire emergency arrangements established for the individual premises.

Guests should be encouraged to familiarise themselves with the nearest available fire exits and alternative escape routes when they arrive. The route normally used to enter the building may not be the safest or nearest route during a fire emergency.

If a fire is discovered, occupants should raise the alarm immediately using the method provided by the premises. This may involve operating the nearest manual fire alarm call point and following any additional instructions contained within the buildings fire emergency procedure.

On hearing the fire alarm, guests and staff should follow the evacuation procedure and leave by the nearest appropriate available exit. Evacuation should not be delayed while collecting luggage, clothing or other personal belongings.

Fire doors should be kept closed where required and should not be wedged or propped open. Properly functioning fire doors can help restrict the spread of fire and smoke and protect escape routes while occupants evacuate the building.

Ordinary passenger lifts should not normally be used during a fire evacuation. Any arrangements involving specially designed evacuation lifts or other designated lifts should be determined by the specific fire strategy and emergency plan for the premises.

Where an assembly point is provided, guests and staff should proceed to the designated location and remain there in accordance with the premises procedures. This can help management account for occupants and identify whether anyone may still be unaccounted for.

After leaving the building, occupants should not re-enter until authorised to do so by the person responsible for the emergency response or the Fire and Rescue Service. Returning to collect possessions can expose people to unnecessary danger and interfere with emergency operations.

Hotel and guest house fire action signs are commonly positioned on the inside of guest room doors or in another prominent position within bedrooms where the instructions can be easily seen. Additional signs may also be appropriate in corridors, reception areas, communal rooms, staff areas and other locations throughout the premises.

Where the sign provides spaces for information such as the assembly point, emergency contact details or other site specific instructions, these should be completed accurately before the sign is put into use. The information should be reviewed whenever the emergency arrangements or building layout change.

Hotels and guest houses should take account of guests who may be unfamiliar with the building or who may require assistance during evacuation. Appropriate arrangements should be established for people who may have difficulty hearing an alarm, understanding instructions or using the normal escape routes.

The Hotel Guest House Fire Action Sign can form part of a wider fire safety signage system alongside Fire Exit, Fire Alarm Call Point, Fire Assembly Point, Fire Door, Fire Extinguisher and directional escape route signs, helping provide consistent fire safety information throughout the accommodation.

The instructions displayed on the sign should accurately reflect the actual fire strategy and emergency plan for the premises. Generic instructions should not be used where they conflict with building specific evacuation arrangements or other measures identified by the fire risk assessment.

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

Manufactured from durable, high quality materials with excellent print clarity and visibility, the Hotel Guest House Fire Action Sign provides a professional and long lasting solution for displaying essential fire emergency information and helping guests and staff understand the actions required during a fire.
