Fire Safety Sign Survey
The current Health & Safety (Safety Signs & Signals) Regulations require that safety signs must:
• Be sited effectively
• Use current design criteria
• Be well maintained
• Have a guaranteed supply of emergency power
We can arrange a visit to your premises at your own convenience. After a survey of the building we will provide you with a report and certificate confirming your signage meets the requirements or, in the event that some areas will need to be looked at, we will provide details of the items you need to consider.
Our Solutions Fire Safety Consultants have many years' experience in dealing with fire safety signage and the relevant regulations surrounding this area. When completing a survey they will:
• Ensure that the agreed signs are in accordance with current
regulations and standards.
• Make sure all signs are uniform and unified in both format and intended
message, and that these signs are unambiguous and instantly understood.
• Consider who is likely to use the building and how familiar they
will be with that building.
• Strive to recommend the optimum use of signs to provide the most
effective amount of information, rather then simply placing as many signs as
possible.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order makes a number of demands regarding your fire safety signage. The RRO states:
14.
(a) emergency routes and exits must lead as directly as possible to a place of safety;
(g) emergency routes and exits must be indicated by signs;
13.
b) any non-automatic fire fighting equipment so provided is easily accessible, simple to use and indicated by signs.
