Tragically, these incidents cause a significant number of civilian casualties and injuries and result in billions of dollars in property damage. Even more alarming is the frequency at which fire departments are summoned to respond, 23 seconds per fire on average, with structural fires breaking out approximately every 65 seconds.
Undoubtedly, fire safety stands as an absolute priority in every establishment. At the core of any effective fire safety strategy are functional fire extinguishers. However, merely having fire extinguishers is not enough; they must be easily identifiable and accessible during emergencies. This is where fire extinguisher safety signs come into play.
Fire extinguisher location identification safety signs are used to guide individuals to fire extinguishers promptly. These signs typically include bright colors, clear symbols, and easy-to-understand text, playing a crucial role in fire safety preparedness. The United States Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets the standards for safety signs in US workplaces, including those related to fire safety.
Complying with the United States Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards is not only essential for ensuring the safety and well-being of employees but is also a legal requirement. OSHA is a federal agency under the United States Department of Labor, responsible for ensuring safe and healthy working conditions for employees. The agency sets and enforces standards to protect workers across various industries, including fire safety standards related to fire extinguisher safety signs.
NFPA is a global nonprofit organization that develops codes and standards related to fire safety, electrical safety, and other hazards. The association's standards are widely recognized and adopted by various industries, including fire protection, life safety, and emergency response. NFPA 10 is the standard that specifically addresses portable fire extinguishers, including the identification and marking of fire extinguishers. It provides guidelines for clear and informative fire extinguisher safety signs, including their location, size, color, and content, to enable quick identification of extinguishers and their corresponding fire classes.
Strategic placement of fire extinguisher safety signs is crucial. OSHA mandates the installation of fire extinguisher safety signs in conspicuous locations where fire extinguishers are present. These signs must be easily seen, unobstructed, and placed at a height that ensures clear visibility. High-traffic areas and points of vulnerability should have clearly marked signs for quick access during emergencies.

It’s not possible to predict when an emergency will occur. Nevertheless, it is possible to mitigate the consequences of emergency situations and, in some cases, to prevent them by raising awareness to the risks and training staff on how to act in the event of an emergency.
Everlux’ wide range of photoluminescent safety signage can help in the prevention and during emergency situations, with its high-quality products that identify egress paths and that will guide people to safety.
One of those products are Photoluminescent Evacuation Maps, whose characteristics are distinctive and allow people to be safe in any emergency.
These evacuation maps can be manufactured in different sizes and colours, and should be parallel wall mounted, leading the way to safety.
They illustrate the path to the nearest emergency exit, even when the power goes off and a stressful and panic situation may happen.
Photoluminescent evacuation maps can also assist rescue brigades in finding their whereabouts when, under unfavorable visibility conditions, they need to identify a specific area of the building where they need to go to perform the rescue.
Panoramic
signs are an ideal
solution to identify the location of emergency and fire-fighting equipment
signs in corridors and will be the best choice for wider zones in the facility
as they can be located irrespectively from the user position in that area. In
fact, this type of signage guarantees the best visibility because the two faces
of the sign form, with the wall, a 45° angle, providing a visibility zone of
180°, which means that it is visible from any point.
Everlux also develops Panoramic Signs based on client requirements. If you have specific requirements or desire a customized sign, please contact us by clicking on the button below:

From 9th to 15th, NFPA will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of Fire Prevention Week, with the campaign "Fire won’t wait. Plan you escape.”. Everlux is joining NFPA in this celebration by placing the Everlux Escape Plans right on the spotlight, throughout the SFPE and Calsafe events, as reminder that advance planning is extremely important to quickly escape from a building fire.
"It is fundamental for everyone to plan and practice a fire escape. Everyone needs to be prepared in advance, so that they know what to do when the smoke alarm sounds. Given that every home is different, every home fire escape plan will also be different.” – NFPA.
In fact, Emergency Action Plans are required in many type of buildings as per section 4.8 of NFPA 101. Additionally, also as per NFPA 101 and NFPA 170, specific buildings also require diagrammatic escape plans posted in conspicuous areas reflecting the actual floor arrangement, fire-fighting equipment, egress paths and exit locations.
When preparing an evacuation plan, there are many aspects to consider for a safe evacuation. Everlux simplify the process, help you identify your requirements and develop your escape plan

Fire alarm
signs are used to clearly identify the location of fire alarm pull station
signs within a building. The Everlux fire alarm signs follow the design
specifications established by NFPA 170 Standard for Fire Safety and
Emergency Symbols and exceed the luminance requirements of the applicable
ASTM standards.
The Everlux catalogue includes a wide selection of fire alarm pull station signs to virtually cover any application needs. From those, we highlight the portrait layout signs that combine the fire alarm graphical symbol with supplementary text available for Type 1 (parallel to the wall), Type 2 (perpendicularly to the wall) and Type P (panoramic) installations. Each of them offering different viewing angles as illustrated in the animation.
In case of fire, most elevators are not to be used in the evacuation process. In these cases, an instruction not to use elevators shall be posted near elevator call buttons. The safety symbols used in such instructions are specified by NFPA 170 – Standard for Fire Safety and Emergency Symbols.
