How to choose fire safety signs
- Match the extinguisher. ID signs follow the extinguisher's colour band (red water, cream foam, black CO2, blue powder, yellow wet chemical) and show which fires it should and should not be used on.
- Know the colours. Red identifies fire equipment, green marks escape routes, blue gives mandatory instructions such as Fire Door Keep Shut, and yellow warns of hazards.
- Pick the material. Photoluminescent stays visible for a time if the lighting fails; vinyl suits doors and smooth surfaces; rigid plastic is a durable all-rounder; metal suits front-of-house.
- Place fire action notices where people will read them, typically beside fire alarm call points and at exits.

Fire safety sign FAQs
What are the main types of fire safety signs?
Fire equipment signs (red), escape route and safe condition signs (green), mandatory signs (blue), prohibition signs (red circle with a diagonal bar) and warning signs (yellow triangle).
What is a fire action notice?
A notice telling staff and visitors what to do if they discover a fire or hear the alarm, such as raising the alarm, leaving by the nearest exit and going to the assembly point.
Are fire safety signs a legal requirement in the UK?
Yes, where needed. The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 require safety signs where a risk cannot be controlled by other means, and fire safety legislation requires escape routes, exits and firefighting equipment to be indicated by signs. The fire risk assessment sets what each building needs.
