Description
Fire extinguisher keep clear signs. Under the regulatory reform (Fire Safety) order 2005, any non-automatic fire fighting equipment such as fire extinguisher keep clear signs should be positioned and signed in accordance with BS EN ISO 7010:2012 to ensure maximum levels of comprehension.
By positioning an appropriate fire equipment sign, it helps to locate and identify essential fire equipment. These fire extinguisher keep clear signs advise the importance of not blocking in the area in and around where the extinguisher is kept.
The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) – Regulations 1996, requires employers to ensure that safety signs are provided (or are in place). The safety signs should be maintained in circumstances where there is a significant risk to health and safety that has not been removed or controlled by other methods.
The Regulations implement European Council Directive 92/58/EEC on minimum requirements for the provision of safety signs at work. The Directive standardises safety signs throughout member states of the European Union (EU) so that wherever a particular safety sign is seen it provides the same message. The intention is that workers moving from site to site, such as service engineers, will not be faced with different signs at different workplaces.
There are viewing distance guides available on our safety sign buying guide page. These assist in determining the appropriate size of safety signs under various light conditions.
