Product Overview

A fire assembly point sign is a critical component of any emergency evacuation plan. It designates a safe location where building occupants should gather during an emergency, such as a fire, to be accounted for by fire marshals or emergency personnel.

The design adheres to all relevant safety standards and helps organisations fulfill their legal responsibilities under fire safety and occupational health legislation.

Key Features and Benefits

Compliant with UK and European Safety Standards
This fire safety sign complies fully with the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 and BS 5499, which outline the design principles, symbols, and text used in health and safety signage. Its use supports regulatory compliance and demonstrates a commitment to occupant safety.

Generous 200mm x 300mm Size for High Visibility
The large format of this sign—200mm wide by 300mm high—ensures it can be seen from a distance, making it effective in outdoor areas, car parks, and open spaces. Its scale is particularly useful in emergency situations where quick visual recognition is essential.

Durable Rigid Plastic Construction
Made from rigid plastic, this sign offers excellent durability and resistance to bending, cracking, or fading. It is suitable for long-term installation in both interior and exterior environments, even under varying weather conditions. Unlike self-adhesive signs, rigid plastic allows for fixed mounting using screws, cable ties, or adhesives, depending on the surface.

Fully Recyclable Material
Constructed from fully recyclable plastic, the sign is an environmentally conscious option. It aligns with modern sustainability targets and responsible materials management in public, commercial, and industrial facilities.

Lightweight and Easy to Handle
Despite its sturdy build, the sign is lightweight, with a total boxed weight of 700 grams. This makes it easy to transport, position, and install, whether affixed to a wall, post, fence, or gate.

Boxed Dimensions for Efficient Storage and Transport

• Width: 20.0 cm
• Height: 30.0 cm
• Depth: 0.0 cm
  These dimensions make the sign easy to stack and store in bulk, which is ideal for facility maintenance teams or safety contractors who require multiple signs for larger sites.

Highly Recognisable Safety Symbol and Layout
The layout and symbol of the fire assembly point sign follow standardised conventions, ensuring that it is immediately recognisable to staff and emergency services, even those unfamiliar with the premises. Its clear graphic combined with bold text enhances understanding across language and literacy barriers.

Installation Guidelines
