Fire Assembly Point Signs

A fire assembly point provides a safe evacuation area and it’s therefore important to signpost where it is located. With a fire assembly sign, you can highlight to everyone who uses your building where that point is, allowing them to gather safely and calmly in a fire emergency. This enhances safety at your site and ensures you’re compliant with regulations.

At Fire Safety Equipment, we provide fire assembly signage in a variety of materials and formats, including self-adhesive and photoluminescent signs. You can get a full range of safety signage from us, including your emergency evacuation point sign, which means you don’t need to spend valuable time ordering from multiple suppliers.

Order your fire assembly point sign online for rapid, reliable delivery wherever you are in the UK.

What are the legal requirements for fire point signs and assembly points?

There are two main pieces of legislation that you need to be aware of when it comes to fire point signs and assembly point signs. 

The first is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is aimed at making businesses and organisations accountable for proper fire safety procedures in all aspects of their operations to help save lives. Included in the range of steps the ‘responsible person’ must organise is the provision of adequate signage for the fire points within the building, along with details of assembly points.

The second set of regulations are the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996, which helped to implement a standardised system of signage for all risks and dangers. These are signs put in place to aid evacuations, most notably through the fire assembly point, which represents a safe location for any in your building to seek if there is a fire or other emergency.

You should consider different signage types for indoor and outdoor applications, as weather-resistant materials may be required to ensure the sign remains effective in its job.

Are there different types of fire assembly point signs?

Yes, fire point signs can come in a variety of forms to suit your needs. 

Of course, they still have the core function of outlining where the assembly point is, but you can obtain photoluminescent signs to help make them visible in low-light conditions. Additionally, you might just need temporary vinyl stickers if your site is only semi-permanent.
