Fire Safety Signs

Fire Safety Signs — Equipment Identification

These 15 products identify fire-fighting equipment so it can be found quickly, which is the one situation where seconds count. The range covers extinguishers, hose reels, fire blankets, fire alarms and call points, the fire emergency phone, and general fire-fighting equipment, along with directional arrow versions for marking the route to equipment that is around a corner or down a corridor.

Identification and location of fire-fighting equipment is governed by AS 2444. The practical point is height and sight lines: an extinguisher below a bench is invisible from ten metres away, and the sign above it is what makes the equipment findable. Signage is typically mounted high enough to be seen over racking, stock and parked vehicles.

Worth distinguishing from the door plates elsewhere on this site. Fire and smoke door signage — Do Not Obstruct, Do Not Keep Open — is a different requirement, drawn from the National Construction Code, and lives in Fire door signs under Statutory Signs. This category is about marking the equipment itself.

Materials

Every product here is offered in Aluminium 1.6mm, Corflute and sticker or decal (SAV), with composite and polypropylene on part of the range. Aluminium for permanent installation on masonry, steel or a post. Sticker or decal where the marker is going onto a glazed panel, a painted column or the cabinet itself and drilling is not wanted. Corflute for temporary and construction-phase marking, where equipment moves as the build progresses.

Prices start at $7.50, with larger formats to $272, and quantity discounts apply automatically from 10 signs. A building is usually signed in one pass — every extinguisher, reel and call point at once — rather than piece by piece.
