Smoke Vent Sign

The Smoke Vent Sign provides clear and highly visible identification of a smoke vent, smoke ventilation system or associated control point within a building. Displaying appropriate signage helps authorised personnel, building managers, maintenance engineers and emergency responders quickly recognise equipment provided as part of the premises fire and smoke control arrangements.

Suitable for apartment blocks, offices, shopping centres, hotels, hospitals, schools, warehouses, industrial premises, stairwells, corridors, atriums and other buildings fitted with smoke ventilation systems, this sign can be positioned adjacent to the relevant vent, control panel, switch or access point.

Smoke ventilation systems are designed to help control the movement and accumulation of smoke and hot gases during a fire. Depending on the building and system design, smoke vents may open automatically or be operated through designated controls to assist with smoke clearance and support the buildings fire safety strategy.

Smoke vents may form part of a natural smoke ventilation system using automatically opening vents, commonly referred to as AOVs, or may be incorporated into a mechanical smoke extraction system. The precise function and method of operation will depend on the design of the installation.

Clear identification is particularly important in buildings containing numerous service controls, switches, panels and ventilation equipment. A dedicated Smoke Vent Sign helps distinguish fire safety related smoke ventilation equipment from ordinary heating, cooling and general ventilation systems.

Smoke ventilation can help maintain more tenable conditions on escape routes, assist smoke clearance and support fire and rescue service operations. The role of an individual smoke vent will depend on the overall fire safety design of the building and should not be assumed solely from its appearance or location.

The Smoke Vent Sign can form part of a wider fire safety identification system alongside Smoke Vent Control signs, AOV signs, Fire Fighting Lift signs, Fire Fighting Lobby signs, Dry Riser signs and other notices identifying essential fire protection and smoke control equipment.

Smoke vents, controls and associated access points should remain clearly identifiable and should not be obstructed or interfered with. Furniture, stored materials, decorations or other objects should not prevent the equipment from operating correctly or make essential controls difficult to locate.

Smoke ventilation systems and their associated controls should be appropriately inspected, tested and maintained by competent persons in accordance with the requirements applicable to the particular installation. Any faults or damage that could affect operation should be addressed promptly.

Signage should complement rather than replace appropriate fire safety design, operating instructions, emergency procedures, maintenance and fire risk management. Manual controls should only be operated in accordance with the procedures established for the specific smoke ventilation system.

Manufactured from durable, high quality materials with excellent print clarity and visibility, the Smoke Vent Sign provides a professional and long lasting solution for identifying smoke ventilation equipment and controls. It helps improve system recognition, support maintenance and emergency procedures and ensure important smoke control facilities can be quickly located when required.
