Safety Signs

Mandatory Instruction

JALITE photoluminescent mandatory fire safety notices are sited to instruct occupants of necessary actions to protect their life safety, according to BS ISO 3864-1:2011. JALITE mandatory fire safety notices such as fire door keep shut and fire action notices allow responsible persons to manage fire risk assessment requirements, by informing occupants, especially visitors of emergency evacuation procedures and practices.

JALITE Fire door safety signs such as fire exit keep clear signs, are sited to allow evacuees to safely escape from the building, especially during an emergency evacuation. JALITE fire door safety signs therefore reduce risks that develop from a blocked fire exit during an incident of fire.

JALITE photoluminescent mandatory safety notices such as our wear mask sign, wear eye protection sign, and fire action notices, are designed with integrated graphical symbols as per BS EN ISO 7010.

JALITE photoluminescent mandatory safety notices are proven to instil familiarity of emergency and health and safety procedures, in all lighting conditions.

SIGN TYPES

VIEWING DISTANCE

The expected viewing distance of a safety sign is described according to the Z factor. The Z factor is the ratio of the viewing distance divided by the sign height (graphical symbol height plus geometric shape according to BS EN ISO 7010:2020 image) - Direct line of sight.
