Fire Exit Signs

What colour are fire exit signs?

Fire exit signs are typically green and white, offering directional guidance to the nearest fire exit in a building. These signs have become a common feature in almost all commercial buildings, a sight that the general public has got used to. 

Whether they show the exact location of a fire exit or point in the right direction down a corridor, the idea is to show anyone in the building the quickest route out in an emergency — such as when a fire occurs. Sometimes, these can even be photoluminescent fire exit signs or are backed by lights to make them even more distinct in poor lighting.

These form part of your legal requirements if you are the responsible person for your building, as they can play a key role in keeping people calm and safe.

Emergency exit signs

Emergency exit signs are available in a range of sizes to help you tailor them to your building. They will usually feature the stick representation of a human being in a running pose along with an arrow. This typically follows the ISO 7010 for the graphical style.

An emergency exit sign should show essential information throughout your premises in regard to where exits are. These can also be referred to as emergency door signs, but are not restricted to only being placed on your emergency exit doors.
