Safety Signs

South Staffs Fire & Security Ltd offer a comprehensive range of safety signs including fire safety, prohibition, mandatory and site management signs

Are your exit signs correct? One of the most popular mistakes is to use an arrow down to show the way forward from here and also on a final exit. Forward from here should be an arrow UP and a final exit should have NO arrow at all.

The table below shows the correct use of exit signs with some example locations:
