Welsh english Pan fo tân fire action sign

This Bilingual Welsh and English Fire Action Sign provides comprehensive emergency instructions in both Welsh and English, helping occupants understand the actions required when a fire is discovered or when the fire alarm sounds. The sign covers raising the alarm, calling the fire brigade, using firefighting equipment where safe, leaving by the nearest available exit, closing doors, reporting to the assembly point and avoiding unnecessary risks.

Displaying the instructions in Welsh and English makes this sign particularly suitable for workplaces, public buildings and other premises in Wales where bilingual safety information is required or preferred. Presenting both languages together helps provide consistent fire emergency information to Welsh and English speaking occupants.

The Welsh Pan Fo Tan section and corresponding English Fire Action section provide equivalent emergency guidance, allowing employees, visitors, contractors and other building users to identify the actions they are expected to take during a fire emergency.

The first instruction requires occupants to sound the alarm when a fire is discovered. Promptly raising the alarm helps alert other people within the building and allows the established fire emergency procedures to begin as quickly as possible.

The second instruction provides a blank space for the telephone number used to call the fire brigade. This allows the sign to be completed with the appropriate emergency telephone number or site specific contact information required by the premises fire procedure.

In the UK, the emergency services can normally be contacted by dialling 999 or 112. Where an internal switchboard, security number, control room or other site specific arrangement is used, the information entered on the sign should accurately correspond with the established emergency procedure.

The third instruction advises occupants to attack the fire, if possible, using the firefighting appliances provided. This instruction is accompanied by an important warning not to endanger yourself or other people while attempting to tackle the fire.

Portable firefighting equipment should only be used where the person is capable of using it safely, the correct equipment is available, the fire is sufficiently small to tackle and a clear means of escape remains available. Nobody should place themselves at unnecessary risk attempting to fight a developing fire.

On hearing the fire alarm, occupants are instructed to leave the building by the nearest available exit. Space is provided for additional site specific escape route information to be entered where required by the premises emergency arrangements.

The nearest available exit may not necessarily be the entrance normally used to enter the building. Occupants should follow appropriate Fire Exit and directional signage and use an alternative safe route if their normal route is affected by fire, smoke or another hazard.

Fire exits, corridors, stairways and other designated escape routes should remain clear and accessible at all times. Furniture, stock, equipment and stored materials should not be allowed to obstruct routes that may be required during an emergency evacuation.

The fifth instruction tells occupants to close all doors behind them as they evacuate. Closing doors can help restrict the spread of fire and smoke and maintain the protection provided by fire resisting compartments, provided this can be done safely and without delaying evacuation.

The sixth instruction requires occupants to report to the person in charge of the designated assembly point. Space is provided for the assembly point location to be added according to the specific arrangements for the premises.

Reporting to the assembly point helps keep evacuated occupants away from the incident and supports procedures for accounting for employees, visitors and contractors. Once at the assembly point, occupants should remain there and follow instructions from the person in charge or the Fire and Rescue Service.

The final section clearly reminds occupants not to take risks during a fire emergency. Personal safety should remain the priority, and people should not enter areas affected by smoke or fire or undertake actions that could unnecessarily endanger themselves or others.

The instruction not to stop to collect personal belongings helps prevent unnecessary delays during evacuation. Occupants should not return to offices, lockers, changing rooms or other areas to retrieve coats, bags, phones or other possessions.

The instruction not to use lifts reminds occupants that ordinary passenger lifts should not normally be used during a fire evacuation. Any arrangements involving specially designed evacuation lifts or firefighting lifts should be determined by the specific fire strategy and emergency plan for the building.

The sign also instructs occupants not to re-enter the building for any reason unless authorised to do so. Re-entry should only take place once the appropriate responsible person or Fire and Rescue Service has confirmed that it is safe.

This Bilingual Welsh and English Fire Action Sign is suitable for offices, factories, warehouses, schools, colleges, healthcare premises, hotels, shops, leisure facilities, local authority buildings, public buildings and other commercial or industrial premises throughout Wales.

The sign should be displayed in prominent locations where occupants can easily see and read the instructions. Suitable positions may include entrances, corridors, stairways, reception areas, communal areas, staff notice boards and locations close to fire alarm call points where appropriate.

Any blank telephone number, escape route or assembly point information should be completed accurately before the sign is relied upon as part of the premises fire safety arrangements. The information should be reviewed whenever emergency contacts, escape routes or evacuation procedures change.

This bilingual sign can form part of a wider fire safety signage system alongside Welsh and English Fire Exit, Fire Alarm Call Point, Fire Assembly Point, Fire Extinguisher, Fire Door and directional escape route signs, helping provide consistent safety information throughout the premises.

The wording displayed should accurately reflect the approved fire strategy and emergency procedures for the particular building. Fire action signage should complement rather than replace a suitable fire risk assessment, emergency plan, staff fire safety training, evacuation drills, maintained fire detection and alarm systems, appropriate firefighting equipment and clearly maintained escape routes.

Manufactured from durable, high quality materials with excellent print clarity and visibility, this Bilingual Welsh and English Fire Action Sign provides a professional and long lasting solution for communicating essential fire emergency instructions to Welsh and English speaking occupants.
