Fire safety signs communicate crucial information about fire hazards, emergency procedures, and the location of fire safety equipment. They use colors and symbols to convey these messages quickly and effectively.
Here's a breakdown of what common fire safety sign colors typically mean:
-
Red: Denotes danger, prohibition, and the location of fire safety equipment. Examples include fire extinguisher locations, fire alarm call points, and "no smoking" symbols.
-
Yellow: Symbolizes warning and is used for signs indicating hazardous materials or environments. This might include flammable materials or areas with potential fire hazards.
In addition to colors, standardized symbols are used to convey specific messages. These symbols are often combined with text for clarity, especially for individuals who may have difficulty understanding visual cues alone. Fire safety signs are designed to be easily recognizable and understood in stressful situations.
