How to install an Everlux Fire Extinguisher Sign?
Did you know that each year, the United States contends with more than a million fire incidents?

How to install an Everlux Fire Extinguisher Sign?


Fire Extinguisher Safety Signs

Did you know that each year, the United States contends with more than a million fire incidents?

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.

Understanding Fire Extinguisher Safety Signs:

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 OSHA Regulations:

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.


Compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association)

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.


Location and Placement

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.


Everlux: Leading Supplier of Fire Extinguisher Safety Signs

Everlux is a trusted and renowned supplier of high-quality photoluminescent safety signs, including fire extinguisher safety signs. With a commitment to safety, Everlux designs and manufactures signs that comply with OSHA, NFPA, and other regulatory standards. Our signs are known for their durability, ability to withstand various environmental conditions, and more importantly for the conspicuity they offer under any visibility conditions.

Why choose Everlux Fire Extinguisher signs?

  • Compliance with US regulations
  • Instant recognition through standardized symbols
  • ASTM grade photoluminescent pigments
  • Fire-resistant materials
  • Easy Installation


Easy Fire Extinguisher Sign Installation

Everlux Fire Safety Extinguisher Signs are easy to install. Choose your preferred installation method:

  • Self Adhesive: Peel off the backing and stick it securely to any smooth surface.
  • Everlux Adhesive: Use our specialized adhesive to ensure a long-lasting bond for extra strength and durability.
  • 4 Screws: For a more traditional approach, simply mount the sign using four screws for a secure fixture.

Photoluminescent Evacuation Maps
Emergency situations cannot be prepared or anticipated, but they can be prevented.
2023-04-11
Photoluminescent Evacuation Maps

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.

Everlux Panoramic Signs
When conveying a message, it is important to ensure that the message is directed to the user. For signs to be seen clearly, they must be installed, not only having their visibility distance into account, but also according to the appropriate viewing angle.

Everlux Panoramic Signs

  • Everlux Panoramic Signs

When conveying a message, it is important to ensure that the message is directed to the user. For signs to be seen clearly, they must be installed, not only having their visibility distance into account, but also according to the appropriate viewing angle.

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.

Fire Prevention Week

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 Safety Signs for Elevators

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.

There are, however, elevators that are integrated in Elevator Evacuation Systems which are used in the evacuation process. The components of these systems, such as elevator lobbies, elevator doors, shafts and machine rooms are protected from fire and can safely be used for egress. NFPA 101 – Life Safety Code mandates the use of specific signs in the lobbies of elevators that are part of the means of egress indicating tat the elevator can be used for evacuation as all as their operational status.

All 50 states have Automated External Defibrillator (AED) programs for places of assembly such as airports, stadiums, churches, health clubs, schools and hotels. These must be maintained according to the manufacturer and the American Heart Association (AHA) which address the need of using AED signs to identify where these devices are located.

In case of a cardiac emergency, AED signs provide essential information that will quickly guide people in the direction of the equipment. The design principles of AED signs are established by NFPA 170 – Standard for Fire Safety and Emergency Symbols.







These signs are available in several options and will help you to keep your facilities in compliance. To learn more about the Everlux AED signs visit our digital catalogue

Door Opening Hardware Signs
The International Building Code (IBC) requires the use of approved luminous Egress Path Markings in high-rise buildings
2021-08-17
Door Opening Hardware Signs

In its CHAPTER 10 – MEANS OF EGRESS, SECTION 1025, LUMINOUS EGRESS PATH MARKINGS, the International Building Code (IBC) requires the use of approved luminous Egress Path Markings in high-rise buildings of Group A, B, E, I, M, and R-1 occupancies in accordance with Sections 1025.1 through 1025.5.

An egress path marking system contains many different components each of them having its specific purpose. The floor and wall perimeter delineation stripes maybe be the most important component to mark the exit path but in emergency situations, door opening hardware signs provide just as essential guidance on where and how to open exit doors.

As per IBC, door hardware shall be marked with a photoluminescent marking with at least 16 square inches. This marking shall be located behind, adjacent to or on the door handle or escutcheon. Panic bars shall be marked with at least 1” wide photoluminescent marking in the complete length of the actuating bar or touchpad.

NFPA 101 Life Safety Code further enforces this requirement in paragraph 7.2.2.5.5.7 Door hardware Marking.





Everlux provides a comprehensive selection of door opening hardware signs and markings as part of its UL 1994 Listed Egress Path Markings range. Learn more in our digital catalogue.

New Products: Photoluminescent Egress Path Markings with Enhanced Fall and Slip Prevention Features
2021-06-24
New Products: Photoluminescent Egress Path Markings with Enhanced Fall and Slip Prevention Features

A building safety officer faces two challenges in providing an effective safety solution for the building users who need to circulate in stairwells:

  • It is essential to effectively mark every step to assure their immediate identification during an emergency, in which a blackout or the presence of smoke may occur.
  • Additionally, it is also necessary to protect the users from possible slips, trips and falls which may occur from the daily use of stairwells.
Everlux is now launching its new stair nosing options, as a supplement to its existing solutions, combining photoluminescent markings with enhanced anti-slip properties, developed with the most demanding applications in mind.


These new products are more suitable for places where, given the type of use or the actual construction features, a higher anti-slip grade solution is required. Steeper and narrower stairwells and places with higher slipping risks are some of the examples of such applications.

Everlux also developed new flat aluminium profile solutions with enhanced anti-slip characteristics. These new profiles are intended to be used on uneven floors where it is also required the use of a higher anti-slip grade solution, or where an anti-slip and photoluminescent combined product may offer a decisive contribution to reduce the slipping hazard and to improve the evacuation marking conditions.

Transition and Floor Perimeter Demarcation Lines

The requirements for the use of Luminous Egress Path Markings are established in Section 1025 of the International Building Code Chapter 10 – Means of Egress

This chapter mandates that Approved luminous egress path markings delineating the exit path shall be provided in interior exit stairways, interior ramps and exit passageways in high-rise buildings of Group A, B, E, I, M and R-1 occupancies.

Stair landings and other floor areas within interior exit stairways, interior exit ramps and exit passageways, shall be marked with solid and continuous demarcation lines on the floor, on the walls or a combination of both.


In this example we are using wall perimeter demarcation lines which drops to the floor.
To assure the continuity of the system the floor demarcation stripe stretches in all the extension of the door and meets the wall demarcation stripe.

The floor perimeter demarcation lines must be installed as close as practicable to the wall to a maximum distance of 4” as illustrated in the left.

Everlux Panoramic Fire Safety Signs

The use of Fire Safety Signs is required by several standards and codes such as NFPA 10, NFPA 101, NFPA 170, OSHA and the International Fire Code.

To provide a safe environment and reduce risk, you must select the more effective Fire Safety Signs to be used in your buildings. For signs to be seen clearly and to work under any circumstance, there are many factors that must be considered, such as the right size, the location and the viewing angle.

Considering the viewing angle, you will need to select the appropriate type of sign from a variety of shapes. The most common are the Type 1, Type 2 and Panoramic Signs:



Depending on the location where it is going to be installed, you may require the use of a Panoramic Fire Safety Sign. A Panoramicsign offers the greatest visibility so it can be perceived from 180° angles and therefore will also be a good solution to identify the location of 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.



 At Everlux, we can help you identify your needs.

Photoluminescent Safety Signs for Green Buildings
As we know, green building is the practice of designing, constructing and operating buildings to maximize occupant health and productivity, use fewer resources, reduce waste and negative environmental impacts, and decrease life cycle costs.

And when talking about Green Buildings, the Everlux photoluminescent safety signs are a very suitable solution: these are a zero-energy consumption and eco-friendly solution, with no wiring, no batteries, no replacement parts required.
When submitted to a luminous excitation, a photoluminescent safety sign has the ability to store the light (natural and artificial) received. Later, during a blackout situation, the sign naturally "glows”, showing to the buildings’ users the message for which the sign was manufactured, i.e. to show alarm equipment, fire equipment, safety equipment, escape routes (exits, doors, etc.), the dangers, the obligations or the prohibitions.

Everlux is very excited about its recent membership to a community devoted to the green building mission: The U.S. Green Building Council.
USGBC is a community of real estate leaders, governments, developers, contractors, architects, engineers, educators, innovators and companies working to build healthy, efficient and equitable buildings and communities for all. It is committed to a sustainable, prosperous future through LEED, the leading program for green buildings and communities worldwide.

Everlux photoluminescent Safety signs can provide points for LEED projects in the following areas: Energy and Atmosphere (EA), Materials and Resources (MR), and Innovation and Design (IN).
