There are 4 different signs standards currently legal in the UK, because of this many companies find themselves with a mixture of different standards of signs within their premises. Current guidelines state that signs within any premises should be of one standard to avoid the potential for confusion.
Signs are required to identify:
Having the right signs in the right place will help ensure the safe evacuation of staff in the event of a fire and will also help to comply with the regulations. Mackenzie Fire Protection's Fire’s range of fire and safety signs incorporate the latest technology to provide cost effective solutions.
Photoluminescent Signs
Photoluminescent escape route signs are made from a zinc sulphide compound, which is charged by natural or artificial white light. They retain their luminous power for several hours to allow occupants to evacuate buildings quickly and safely in the dark and can be recharged any number of times.
Current law requirements
The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 came into force on April 1 1996, and relate to the use of fire safety signage in the workplace. The regulations apply to all places and activities where people are employed and require employers to provide specific safety signage whenever there is a risk that has not been avoided or controlled by other means. The fire safety signage Regulations state that:
Within an office space or commercial premises the two most common signs types you’ll see are ‘Safe Route’ (the running green man which directs you to Exits and Fire Exits – and it’s crucial to know which is which) and Fire Equipment identification signs, normally located next to fire extinguishers, hose reels and fire alarm call points.
Moving into new premises or reviewing your current one? We can help.
We can carry out a free signs survey to tell you which signs you’ll need to comply with current legislation.
We can also help with a free fire extinguisher survey to identify your portable fire extinguisher requirements.
These signs below are some of the more common you’ll see in any building – if you would like any advice on ‘Safe Route’ or ‘Fire Equipment’ signs give us a call.

Mackenzie Fire Protection is a family owned business and was established in 1987.
We have over 800 clients across Scotland, ranging in size from multi-nationals with many premises to small businesses operating from one.
We’re a bit different to other fire equipment service companies out there in that we don’t pay our engineers on commission. This method of payment, where engineers are expected to quadruple and quintuple their wages by fitting as many spare parts as they can and upselling equipment as far as possible, is common practice in the fire equipment service industry.
We back up our non-commission payment structure by charging a fair price for what we do.
Combine these two practices and it means our customers end up with a better deal when it comes to the recertification of their fire equipment.
Want to know if you’re on a good deal? Please enquire about our free ‘Price Comparison Exercise’ (contract review to you and me) and we’ll give you an honest appraisal of your current arrangements.
