Product Information

At Coopers Fire, we’re always developing our fire curtains, smoke curtains and fire safety courses to keep us at the cutting edge of fire safety. Get in touch Fire safety signs are photo-luminescent so that the glow of the signs will help occupants make their way out of the premises or find fire-fighting equipment if the lighting fails during a fire. Fire damage to the lifts electrical supply can cause it to stop abruptly between floors – and if fire has breached the elevator shaft, anyone trapped in the lift is in danger of massive heat and smoke exposure. Rescue may not be possible at this point. The only exception to stairs being the fastest way out for most people is in extremely tall buildings, where high speed, high tech lifts could ferry people out rapidly, avoiding floors affected by fire and ensuring trips are timed for maximum efficiency. But if fire and smoke have encroached into the elevator shafts, then taking the lift may no longer be an option. Spreading Smoke

Use being either "to deal with fire" or "as you would normally" is a big one. Only because the elevators are not something you'd consider putting a fire out would this be unlikely. When assessing the risks, all relevant fire protection measures need to be given consideration. For example, if the property has significant protective measures such as a sprinkler system and compartmentation, this may influence and enable the early use of a lift. The Fire Action Notice’s purpose is to make sure that anyone working in or visiting your building knows what to do if they discover a fire or if they need to evacuate the building. When we are trapped inside the cabin then we try to leave that building with the help of elevator, which is not good. As we know that “In case of fire, DO NOT use the lift, use the stairs”. Well there are many reasons why you should not use the lift if there is a fire.Prohibition signs give ‘Do Not…’ style warnings in areas where there is a specific risk of fire. These are frequently used in conjunction with Warning signs, for example to prohibit smoking in an area where there are flammable materials. Which signs you require depends on the layout of your premises, the nature of their use, and the fire-fighting equipment you have. If you have a Fire Risk Assessment this document will outline exactly which fire safety signs you need. We explain more about each category of sign below. 1. ‘Fire Action Notice’ – what to do in case of fire When inside a box made out of fire, do not use any elevators. ("In case of wood, lies golden treasure") It's a totally unreasonable interpretation for an Earthling to make, but it is at least logically and grammatically plausible.

A Fire action notice (or often referred to as Fire Action Sign) provides simple clear instructions to staff and visitors on the fire procedure of the premises. Warning signs are usually circular, with a red band around the outside and a diagonal red line across the centre. Fire safety prohibition signs – examples Some Fire Action Sign variations contain writable sections on the sign - these can be filled in to suit the fire plan of your organisation (such as where your Fire Assembly Point is located or the number to call the Fire Brigade).A lift can’t take everyone at once. It might get some people out fast, but most people will be able to escape much faster by using the stairs. Lifts should be reserved for people who physically can’t use stairs to escape first – provided it is safe to do so. Close doors: When you’re making your way out of the building, ensure that you’re only opening door that you need to. If you come across any doors that are closed that you don’t need to go through, keep them closed. These doors will help stop fires spreading, so don’t open any door if you don’t need to.
