Workplace fire safety: Every year people die or are injured as a result of fires in the workplace. It is an employer’s responsibility to reduce the risk of fire and make sure that visitors and staff can safely escape the building if a fire does break out.
A fire risk assessment forms part of a company’s legal obligation to assess the health and safety of their workplace. A fire risk assessment will review where fire hazards are in a workplace – for example, cookers, heaters or commercial equipment, and who is at risk – e.g. people who work close to the hazards, children or the elderly. Once risks have been identified, the assessment looks at ways to reduce the hazards to make the building as safe as possible. Following this, the amount of fire equipment such as fire extinguishers, fire blankets and fire signs can be calculated – depending on the building layout, square footage and business use.

Fire Signs
To assist staff and visitors locate the nearest exit fire exit signs are used. Assembly point signs should also be used to direct people to safe meeting points where they can be counted once out of the building. A good number of signs will ensure that staff and visitors are able to exit the building as quickly as possible without panicking.
There are a wide variety of signs available, which come in various finishes and sizes.
