In an emergency, these signs provide clear instructions that help you leave the building safely, locate fire safety equipment and follow the correct evacuation procedures. Understanding the different types of fire safety signs before an emergency happens can save valuable time. In this article, we\u2019ll explain the rules on fire safety signs, outline some of the most common signs you are likely to see and explain what each one means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-rules-on-fire-safety-signs\">What are the Rules on Fire Safety Signs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fire safety signs play an important role in helping people evacuate safely during a fire. They highlight escape routes, identify the location of fire safety equipment and provide important instructions that should be followed in an emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"685\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/firesign.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83082\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The main legal requirements for fire safety signs come from the <strong>Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005,<\/strong> which requires the responsible person to provide appropriate fire safety measures for the premises. Where risks cannot be removed through other measures, suitable safety signs should be provided. The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 also set out requirements for the use of workplace safety signs where significant risks remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be effective, fire safety signs should meet the following requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be positioned where they can be <strong>easily seen<\/strong> by anyone who needs to follow them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be <strong>permanently fixed <\/strong>wherever possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remain<strong> unobstructed <\/strong>at all times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be kept clean, <strong>clearly visible <\/strong>and in good condition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be <strong>replaced promptly<\/strong> if they become damaged, faded or difficult to read.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use <strong>recognised colours, symbols and pictograms <\/strong>that comply with relevant British and international standards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clearly identify <strong>fire escape routes<\/strong>, final exits and emergency exits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Show the location of <strong>fire safety equipment,<\/strong> including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/how-long-do-fire-extinguishers-last\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fire extinguishers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/fire-blankets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fire blankets<\/a> and fire alarm call points.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be provided<strong> wherever necessary <\/strong>to help people <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/personal-emergency-evacuation-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">evacuate safely<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be <strong>appropriate <\/strong>for the layout, risks and occupancy of the building.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be supported by<strong> staff training,<\/strong> so everyone understands what the signs mean and what action to take during an emergency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenberg-hst-block-experttip tip__box\"><div class=\"tip__title__container\"><div class=\"tip__title__text\"><div class=\"tip__title__icon\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/plugins\/hub-custom-blocks-plugin\/expert-tip-icon.png\" alt=\"Expert Icon\"\/><\/div><h3>Looking for More?<\/h3><\/div><\/div><p>Develop your knowledge of fire safety procedures with our range of online <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/courses\/fire-safety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fire Safety Courses<\/a>.

While the exact design may vary slightly between manufacturers, the meaning of each sign remains consistent. Below are some of the most common fire safety signs found in UK workplaces and what they tell you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fire-escape-signs\">Fire Escape Signs<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"703\" height=\"314\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/HST_HUB_FireSafetySign1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83070\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Fire Escape signs show the direction people should follow to reach the nearest safe exit. They are positioned throughout escape routes and often include arrows to guide people towards emergency exits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fire-assembly-point-signs\">Fire Assembly Point Signs<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"703\" height=\"314\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/HST_HUB_FireSafetySign2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83072\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Fire Assembly Point signs identify the designated location where everyone should gather after leaving the building. Once you have evacuated, you should go directly to the assembly point and remain there until instructed otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-refuge-point-signs\">Refuge Point Signs<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"703\" height=\"314\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/HST_HUB_FireSafetySign3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83071\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Refuge Point signs indicate a protected area where disabled people or anyone who cannot immediately use the stairs can wait safely for assistance during an evacuation.

They\u2019re usually displayed next to manual fire alarm call points and in prominent locations throughout the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fire-door-keep-shut-signs\">Fire Door Keep Shut Signs<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"703\" height=\"314\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/HST_HUB_FireSafetySign5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83074\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Fire Door Keep Shut signs remind people that a fire door must remain closed when it\u2019s not being used. Keeping <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/fire-door-safety\/\">fire doors<\/a> shut helps prevent the spread of fire and smoke, protecting escape routes and giving people more time to evacuate safely. These signs should be displayed on both sides of applicable fire doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-not-use-lift-signs\">Do Not Use Lift Signs<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"703\" height=\"314\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/HST_HUB_FireSafetySign6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83075\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Do Not Use Lift signs remind building occupants that lifts should not be used during a fire unless they are specifically designed and designated for evacuation purposes.
