Warning Signs
Shires Fire & Safety provide advice on the provision of correct signage, everything from emergency lighting and fire escape signs to a whole range of fire action notices.
"All our electrical engineers are employed by Shires Fire & Safety and are audited on a regular basis to meet the BS EN 9001:2000 UKAS."
We supply a complete range of fire and safety signs, designed to identify, locate and advise the safe action to be taken in the event of fire. Signs are manufactured from self adhesive heavy duty vinyl, rigid PVC, clear vinyl, self adhesive polyester and also illuminated light box signs. The extensive range also includes specialist tactile and braille signs to conform to the Disability Discrimination Act. All signs conform to the relevant British Standard or EU Directive.
New Photoluminescent safety signs
Photoluminescent safety signs are a cost effective solution to providing illuminated signs in the event of power failure. Shires Fire Technicians will demonstrate the use of these signs and will advise on the most appropriate signage as part of the fire survey to comply with the Health and Safety (Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996.
The Regulations state:
• Employers must use safety signs wherever there is a risk to health and safety
• Safety signs must be of a specified type
• All signs must contain a pictogram; text only signs are no longer acceptable
• Signs must be maintained and adequately lit
• Employers must ensure that signs are understood by employees
