A Fire Action Manual Dial Without Lift Sign is important because it provides clear instructions for building occupants on how to respond during a fire when there are no lifts (elevators) available. The sign guides people to manually dial emergency services to raise the alarm, ensuring that help is summoned quickly. It also reminds occupants to use the stairs to evacuate safely since lifts are not present, eliminating any confusion about evacuation routes.

This sign helps reduce panic by offering straightforward, easy-to-follow steps that everyone can understand, even if they are unfamiliar with the building or emergency procedures. Clear communication is vital in emergencies to promote calm and orderly evacuation.

Additionally, the sign supports fire safety compliance by ensuring that buildings without lifts still provide proper emergency instructions. It reinforces fire safety training and drills by reminding occupants of the correct procedures.

Overall, the Fire Action Manual Dial Without Lift Sign plays a crucial role in fire safety by ensuring occupants know how to raise the alarm and evacuate safely without relying on lifts, ultimately helping to protect lives and minimise damage.

Material Options Explained

Below is a more detailed description of the materials this particular safety sign is available in. Helping you decide which sign option is most suitable for your application.

Rigid Plastic: This lightweight, gloss white PVC is resistant to weather, moisture, chemicals, and general wear and tear, making it suitable for harsh environments. Its smooth, solid surface allows for crisp printing of text and graphics, enhancing readability and visual impact. Businesses who choose Rigid Plastic signs benefit from fewer replacements and minimal maintenance, making it a practical investment for reliable and effective safety signs.

Self-Adhesive Vinyl: Self-adhesive vinyl is easy to apply and it’s budget-friendly. Its adhesive backing allows for easy application to a variety of surfaces such as glass, metal, plastic, and painted walls, which simplifies installation and reduces setup time. 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.

White Powder Coated Aluminium: Resistant to rust, corrosion, and UV damage, White powder coated aluminium is ideal for outdoor use in all weather conditions. Aluminium is 100% recyclable and can be recycled indefinitely without losing quality. Powder coating is generally considered more eco-friendly than paint, however, the coating must be removed (Industrial Recyclers / Scrap Metal Facilities) before the aluminium can be recycled.

Brass: 2mm brass with a gloss white powder coated face. Suitable for both internal and external applications. Excellent weathering and UV resistance provides a long-life product.

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.
