A Fire Action / Call Point Without Lift Sign is important because it clearly communicates the emergency procedures for buildings that do not have lifts (elevators). The sign guides occupants to manually activate the fire alarm at the call point and dial emergency services to raise the alarm. It also directs people to use the stairs to evacuate safely, emphasising that lifts are not available and should not be expected during an emergency.

This clear and simple guidance helps prevent confusion, especially for visitors or new occupants unfamiliar with the building layout. By outlining the correct steps, the sign supports a swift and orderly evacuation, which is crucial for minimising risks during a fire.

The sign also helps ensure compliance with fire safety regulations that require appropriate emergency instructions tailored to the building’s features. It reinforces training and awareness, reminding occupants of the correct actions in the absence of lifts.

Overall, the Fire Action / Call Point Without Lift Sign plays a vital role in promoting fire safety by ensuring occupants know how to alert emergency services and evacuate safely when lifts are not part of the building infrastructure.

This fire action sign states:

"Any person discovering a fire
1. Sound the alarm
2. Phone [ SPACE FOR NUMBER ] to call fire brigade
3. Attack the fire if possible using the appliances provided

On hearing the fire alarm
4. Leave the building by [ SPACE ] route
5. Close all doors behind you
6. Report to assembly point [ SPACE FOR LOCATION ]

Do not take risks
Do not return to the building for any reason until authorised to do so
Do not use lifts"

Self-adhesive vinyl provides a clean, professional finish that suits many indoor environments including offices, retail, industrial sites, and vehicles. It is more affordable than many other material types and allows for custom shapes, colours, and graphics.

To achieve high performance in low light conditions and conform to ISO 16069 we recommend using Ultra Bright.

Ultra Bright Photoluminescent Rigid Plastic: Ultra Bright rigid plastic has a photoluminescent (glow in the dark) pigmentation which offers a highly effective, reliable, and energy-free visibility in low-light or blackout conditions, making them ideal for emergency exit applications. The afterglow properties exceed PSPA Class C grade, as measured to DIN 6751, provides razor sharp definition in blackout conditions.

Ultra Bright Photoluminescent Self Adhesive: Ultra Bright self adhesive vinyl is a flexible PVC with photoluminescent (glow in the dark) pigmentation. The self-adhesive backing enables quick, tool-free application on smooth, clean surfaces like walls and doors. The afterglow properties exceed PSPA Class C grade, as measured to DIN 6751, provides razor sharp definition in blackout conditions, making them ideal for emergency escape applications.

Rigid Plastic with Self Adhesive Backing: Our standard rigid plastic is a gloss white, smooth, solid material that allows for crisp printing of text and graphics - resistant to weather, moisture, chemicals. A strong peel & stick adhesive backing eliminates the need for tools or hardware, providing a long-lasting bond to most smooth surfaces, saving time and labour costs.
