Safe for use on electrical fires sign

The Safe For Use On Electrical Fires Sign is designed to clearly identify fire fighting equipment that is suitable for use where live electrical equipment is involved. Displayed alongside the appropriate fire extinguisher or fire point, the sign provides clear information about the intended application of the equipment and helps users identify an appropriate extinguisher during an emergency.

Suitable for offices, factories, warehouses, workshops, server rooms, data centres, laboratories, plant rooms, electrical switch rooms, manufacturing facilities and other commercial or industrial premises containing electrical equipment, this sign can be positioned directly above or adjacent to the relevant fire extinguisher or designated fire point.

Electrical equipment can present additional hazards during a fire because the equipment may remain energised. Using an unsuitable extinguishing medium can expose the user to the risk of electric shock and may cause further damage or create additional hazards. Clearly identifying equipment suitable for use where electricity is involved can therefore help support safer extinguisher selection.

The Safe For Use On Electrical Fires message provides an immediate point of use indication that the associated fire fighting equipment is suitable for the relevant electrical risk. This can be particularly useful where several different types of extinguisher are positioned together and users need to quickly distinguish between their intended applications.

Electrical fires are not generally treated as a separate fire classification in the UK. Once the electrical supply has been safely isolated, the fire should be considered according to the type of material that is actually burning. Appropriate fire fighting equipment should therefore be selected according to both the electrical hazard and the combustible materials involved.

Where possible and safe to do so, electrical equipment should be isolated from its power supply by appropriately authorised personnel in accordance with established emergency procedures. Fire extinguishers provided for areas containing electrical equipment should be selected according to the specific risks identified within the premises fire risk assessment.

Safe For Use On Electrical Fires signage can form part of a wider fire extinguisher identification system alongside extinguisher type signs, suitable fire application signs, operating instructions and Do Not Use restriction notices. Clear and consistent identification can help users understand the intended applications and limitations of the fire fighting equipment provided.

Fire extinguishers should remain clearly visible and readily accessible and should be appropriately inspected and maintained. Personnel should only attempt to tackle a fire when it is safe and appropriate to do so and when they understand the correct use and limitations of the available equipment. The priority should always be to raise the alarm and follow the premises emergency and evacuation procedures.

Manufactured from durable, high quality materials with excellent print clarity and visibility, the Safe For Use On Electrical Fires Sign provides a professional and long lasting solution for identifying fire fighting equipment suitable for situations involving electrical equipment. It helps improve extinguisher identification, reinforce correct equipment selection and support safer fire emergency procedures within the workplace.
