Choosing Sign Sizes
All signs have a maximum viewing distance. This refers to the furthest distance a sign can be read from, legibly. A standard formula for calculating the maximum viewing distance for a particular size of sign can be found in BS5499-4. The following example shows the difference in sizes for JALITE photoluminescent fire exit signs, based on BS5499-4. This chart is also applicable for JALITE photoluminescent exit signs.
Meanings of Arrows
Escape route signs are required at every decision making points to indicate a change of level, a change of direction and to identify escape doors. Below is a guidance from BS5499-4 on the meanings of these signs.
Which sign should I use and where?
According to guidance from British and International Standards, signs can be categorised into 8 main groups. Below is a brief description of each group.
Escape Route Location Signs
Escape route location signs are signs that identify the direction of travel to escape or exit within a building.
NOTE: 'Exit' signs indicate doorways or openings that leads to a place of safety. 'Fire exit' signs are doorways or openings that have been specifically provided as an alternative exit to use in the event of an evacuation (A 'Fire exit' may still be use during the day-to-day occupation of the premise).

Fire Alarm and Fire-fighting Equipment Signs
Legislation requires that any non-automatic firefighting equipment (fire extinguishers, alarms etc.) provided should be easy to access, simple to use and indicated by signs.
You can meet this requirement by siting signs conspicuously above the equipment to locate, on the equipment to identify and if necessary, include a sign that has simple instructions on how to operate the equipment.
Also, to greatly reduce risks of the inappropriate use of fire extinguishers, it is highly recommended that you include a fire extinguisher identification that shows the type of extinguisher and the type of fire it can or cannot be used on.

Mandatory Notices
Mandatory notices help in preventing the spread of fire by informing building occupants of the mandatory requirements. These notices should be displayed prominently on both sides of the doors. They can be use as part of a formal fire safety training.
Fire Action Charts
It is a legislation requirement that all building occupants must be informed of fire safety information and one of these would include instructions on what to do in the event of a fire.
A good solution is by siting safety signs. Siting fire action charts conspicuously within the building would help to reinforce formal training and act as a constant reminder.
It is recommended that you choose a fire action chart which is simple, includes a step-by-step instruction and one that uses graphical symbols from Standards to increase comprehension.
