Fire Prevention Information: Buying Guide


The message on posters must be understood at a glance, and to be read and remembered easily. Effective and useful information reinforces the right processes at your company. Our range of safety signs are designed to combine text with attention-grabbing pictures, which immediately emphasises the written message. In some cases, the notice is punctuated with symbols or pictograms near each instruction, making a strong visual memory tool for the reader.

The posters may be ordered in rigid or semi-rigid plastic, or laminated paper, so that they can be displayed on a wall, door, cabinet, glass panel, etc. They may be fixed directly to the surface with mounting tape or fitted into a snap poster frame to keep them away from dust, moisture and dirt.

Fire safety posters differ from the related, directional fire safety signs. Your business needs clear signs indicating the location of fire escapes, fire extinguishers, emergency contacts, fire action plans, assembly points, etc. These are needed so that in an emergency, it is clear, for instance, where to go and whom to contact.

The fire safety posters, unlike fire escape information, detail what should be done before as well as during a fire. Information is displayed explaining that fire marshals are appointed to check that alarms work, signage is visible and escape routes are kept clear. Also, posters such as “know your fire extinguisher” will help ensure that enough people know which type of extinguisher should be used in an emergency. At the same time, they will also have been advised about the first steps on finding a fire, when to tackle a fire and when to head for an escape.

By displaying vivid posters that pose various scenarios, you have the chance to throw a spotlight on this type of danger so that people turn it over in their minds. Questions such as “door stop, or a fire stop?” and appeals such as “know your fire extinguisher,” “know your assembly point” and “plan your fire escape” all serve to broach the topic of fire and the possibility of an emergency.

You can bolster fire safety information by using the pocket guides. There are two versions, combining a colour-code guide (for fire extinguishers) with either “emergency resuscitation” or “fire-action guidelines.”

These handy reminders are among the range of guides and DVDs available across the health and safety spectrum. The fire safety manual is an excellent resource and contains master copies of all the forms that you need while explaining legislation, fire risk assessment, fire safety procedures and checklists.

Posters that repeat this information go a long way towards cementing the knowledge gained in training, and provide highly accessible checklists for staff. All of the important information is summarised by posters such as the "In The Event or Discovery of Fire" poster. It gives step-by-step instructions for reacting to fire, with clear pictograms included. It highlights the latest legislation information, and details, which coded fire extinguisher to use for which burning materials. There are other examples, all of which foster the best possible response to a fire emergency.

How can you stop fire safety posters being ignored?

Over time, even the most strategically placed and well-designed fire safety posters can be overlooked. A rotating poster kit is an ideal solution for this problem.

What are rotating poster kits?

A rotating poster kit is a safety messaging innovation to help you combat familiarity and complacency. Each kit contains a set of eye-catching guides to tackling workplace risks, including fires. This could be three months’ supply of alternating fire safety posters, or six- or 12-months’ worth of posters you can interchange.

There are various versions of these rotating poster kits that focus on the sort of safety issues that matter to employers, including COSHH regulations and first aid responses.

Each kit includes aesthetically pleasing aluminium snap frames and three, six or 12 A2 safety posters that feature succinct text and high-impact graphics.

What are the benefits of rotating our safety posters?

These kits are a great way to increase attention and engagement among staff and visitors. This is because the information placed on your staff notice boards or near high-risk locations will regularly be refreshed.

It is also a handy way to communicate a series of safety messages if there is not enough room for a permanent display of safety response material, including fire safety posters.

Another reason to buy a rotating poster kit is that it can help you remain compliant with health and safety regulations. It is vital to deliver essential fire safety information in the workplace, and to keep everyone informed of how to respond to other potential risks.

These kits help you comply with health and safety regulations requiring the clear presentation of essential fire safety information. It is also possible to change the focus of the poster each month. This enables you to provide continuous education and communication, for a better response to workplace emergencies of all types.

Lastly, rather than buying multiple display systems for fire safety posters and other health and safety information, our rotating poster kits provide a cost-effective way to present different safety messages in one attractive and convenient system.
