Same-Day Fire Equipment Signs

Fire equipment signs mark where extinguishers, hose reels, hydrants and alarm call points are, so people can find them quickly in an emergency. They use a red square or rectangle with a white symbol and are often needed before a fire inspection or after a refit.

Choosing a size

Fire equipment signs are usually mounted above the equipment so they remain visible when people stand in front of it or when the item is partly hidden by shelving. In long corridors or open warehouses a projecting or double-sided sign helps people see the location from along the route. A4 and A5 portrait formats are widely used, with larger sizes for big open areas.

Standards and compliance

Fire equipment signs in South Africa commonly follow SANS 1186 symbols and colours, while fire protection requirements for buildings are covered by the National Building Regulations and local fire by-laws, with the OHS Act covering workplace duties. Your fire safety practitioner or local fire department is the right source for what your premises need. The customer remains responsible for selecting compliant signage; we print to the artwork or specification supplied or agreed.

FAQs

Should fire equipment signs glow in the dark?
Many sites choose photoluminescent fire equipment signs so the location stays visible during a power cut or smoke. Your fire safety plan should guide this choice.
Can you print extinguisher type labels as well?
Yes. Small vinyl labels identifying the extinguisher type or giving brief use instructions can be printed alongside the location signs.
Is a single sign enough above each extinguisher?
That depends on sightlines. Where the equipment cannot be seen along a corridor, a projecting sign or additional signs may be needed. Your fire practitioner can advise.
Can I order a full set for a new building?
Yes. Send a list of locations and sign types. Larger sets may take longer than same-day depending on quantity and stock.
