Fire Action Signs
Fire action signs provide clear instructions on what actions to take during a fire emergency, including how to raise the alarm and safely evacuate the building.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 mandates that employers provide clear fire safety instructions, including prominently displayed fire action signs, to ensure quick and safe evacuations during emergencies. The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 require that safety signs (including fire action notices) are used to communicate essential safety information, especially when risks can't be managed by other means.
All our health and safety signs, including fire action signs and notices are fully compliant with current UK legislation and best practice guidelines, including the internationally recognised ISO 7010 standard. Shop our range of fire action signage options below, and ensure employees, visitors and the general public are prepared in the event of a fire, and that your business complies with the law.

Ultra Bright Photoluminescent Fire Action Signs
Photoluminescent fire action signs and fire action notices are a critical component of emergency preparedness in any building. These signs are designed to store energy from natural or artificial light sources, enabling them to emit a greenish glow, known as phosphorescence, in the absence of light. This glow is crucial during emergencies, such as power outages or when thick smoke from a fire reduces visibility.
The strength and duration of this luminance varies significantly between manufacturers. To address this, our Ultra Bright brand of photoluminescent signage has been developed to exceed the Photoluminescent Safety Products Association (PSPA) Class C ratings. This ensures that our signs remain visible for longer periods, and offer superior brightness and longevity compared to standard products on the market. This enhanced performance increases the likelihood of a successful evacuation by guiding occupants towards safety in even the most challenging conditions.
Photoluminescent fire action signs and notices do not require electricity to function, making them exceptionally reliable in emergency situations where electrical systems might fail. By clearly marking exits, routes, and essential safety equipment, these signs significantly improve safety by ensuring that employees and the public can quickly and efficiently find their way to safe refuge areas.
See our safety signs material guide for more information about the materials used in the production of fire action notice signs.
