Guest PeterMod Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Hello, Do fire action signs have to be the illuminated signs or can I just print some instructions. I ask this as i cannot find legislation saying this is a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sutton Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 I am assuming you are talking about fire action notices the illuminated signs bit confuses me. However most Responsible Person's use purchased action notices for convenience but there is no reason why you cannot produce your own, providing it has the necessary information and only small numbers of people are involved. Check out http://www.firesafe.org.uk/regulatory-reform-fire-safety-order-2005/ on signs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 They are notices, not signs, so don't have to use the colours and symbols detailed in the Safety Signs Regulations, although it's best practice. You can produce your own or buy ex stock from a supplier No signs have to be photoluminescent as the normal & emergency lighting should be sufficient to permit legibility of key signs & equipment - the only time they would have to be is if a photoluminescent way guidance and information system is being installed instead of emergency lighting. Purchased signage can be normal self adhesive vinyl or rigid plastic and do not have to glow in the dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
