Refuge & Accessible Fire Safety Signs

Disabled Fire Safety Signs provide essential fire safety information and evacuation guidance for disabled occupants, visitors and staff. Also known as refuge signs, disabled evacuation signs or accessible fire safety signs, they help identify refuge areas, evacuation equipment and accessible emergency procedures.

These signs are commonly used in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes, hotels, apartment buildings, public buildings and commercial premises where inclusive fire safety measures are required.

Typical installation locations include refuge points, accessible escape routes, evacuation chair locations, stairwells, lift lobbies and designated assistance areas.

Available in self-adhesive vinyl, rigid plastic, aluminium and photoluminescent glow in the dark materials, many of our disabled fire safety signs are manufactured in the UK for excellent visibility, durability and long-term performance.
