Fire Safety Signs in Kenya: Fire Exit, Assembly Point and Fire Action Plan Signs

In an emergency, people need to know where to go and what action to take. A visitor may not be familiar with your building, and even employees can find it difficult to make decisions quickly when an alarm sounds.

Fire safety signs help communicate important information in offices, schools, shops, warehouses, hotels and other workplaces. They can identify an emergency exit, direct people towards an assembly point or display instructions to follow when a fire is discovered.

This guide explains common fire safety signs in Kenya, their uses and what to consider when ordering signs for your premises.

What Are Fire Safety Signs?

Fire safety signs are visual signs that provide information related to fire emergencies. Depending on the sign, they can help people:

• Identify an emergency exit.
• Follow a designated escape route.
• Find an assembly point.
• Locate a fire point or firefighting equipment.
• Understand the actions to take when a fire is discovered.

The signs needed in a building will depend on its layout, occupants and fire safety arrangements. Signs should support your emergency plan and staff training.

Common Fire Safety Signs and Their Uses

Sign	Purpose	Example location
Fire exit sign	Identifies or directs people towards an emergency exit	Along an escape route or near an exit
Fire assembly point sign	Identifies the designated place to gather after evacuation	At the approved outdoor assembly area
Fire action plan sign	Displays the actions people should follow during a fire	A visible place where occupants can read the instructions
Fire point sign	Identifies a designated fire point	Near the relevant firefighting equipment
Directional assembly point sign	Helps direct people towards an assembly point	Along the route to the designated gathering area

The exact placement should be checked against your building’s fire safety plan. A sign should be visible and should communicate the correct direction or instruction.

1. Fire Exit Signs

A fire exit sign helps people identify an exit or follow a route towards one. These signs are useful in places where visitors may not know the building, such as offices, shops, schools, hotels and commercial premises.

When ordering a fire exit sign, consider whether you need a sign that identifies the exit itself or a directional sign that helps people follow the route. Check that any arrow points in the correct direction for your premises.

2. Fire Assembly Point Signs

After leaving a building during an emergency, occupants need to know where they should gather. A fire assembly point sign identifies the designated area and helps staff and visitors recognise it.

The assembly point should form part of your organisation’s emergency arrangements. Before ordering a sign, confirm the approved gathering location and whether people need additional directional signs to find it.

Prices and availability should be confirmed when ordering. You can explore the Fire Assembly Point Right Arrow Sign or enquire about the size and direction suitable for your site.

3. Fire Action Plan Signs

A fire action plan sign displays the instructions people should follow when a fire is discovered or an alarm is raised. It can help employees and visitors understand the procedure established for the building.

The wording should match your organisation’s actual emergency plan. Before placing an order, check the instructions with the person responsible for fire safety at your premises.

4. Fire Point Signs

A fire point sign helps identify a designated location for firefighting equipment. It can make the location easier for staff and other occupants to recognise.

When planning this signage, confirm the locations with the person responsible for your fire safety arrangements. Equipment should remain accessible, and staff should follow the emergency procedures and training provided for the premises.

If you need a fire point sign with specific wording or dimensions, you can enquire through the safety signages category.

How to Choose Fire Safety Signs for Your Premises

Check your emergency plan first

Begin with the fire safety arrangements for your building. Identify the exits, escape routes, assembly point and other locations that need to be communicated to occupants.

If you are unsure about the signs or placement required, seek guidance from a qualified fire safety professional or the relevant authority.

Choose the correct message and direction

A directional sign is useful only when it points the right way. Check the route from the position where the sign will be displayed and confirm whether you need a left arrow, right arrow or another instruction.

Consider visibility and size

Think about where people will view the sign. A sign in a small office corridor may have different visibility needs from one in a large warehouse or outdoor area.

When ordering, share the intended location and viewing distance so you can discuss a suitable size.

Confirm the material and mounting requirements

Tell the printing team whether the sign will be used indoors or outdoors and where it will be mounted. Confirm the available materials, finish and fittings for your chosen product.

Keep your signs consistent with your procedures

If the layout of your building, exit route or assembly point changes, review the signs and update any that no longer give the correct information.

Can Fire Safety Signs Be Customised?

Custom requirements may include a different size, wording, directional arrow or artwork. The available options depend on the sign and its intended use.

When requesting a custom quote, prepare the following:

• The type of sign you need.
• The required wording or artwork.
• The preferred dimensions.
• The number of signs.
• Whether they will be used indoors or outdoors.
• Your required date and delivery location.

For safety information, make sure the wording and design are appropriate for your premises before approving them for production.
