Foam Extinguisher Instructions sign confirms safe use before someone reaches for the extinguisher
This sign pairs the foam extinguisher pictogram with a quick safe/not-safe use guide, so anyone reaching for the equipment in an emergency knows straight away what it is - and is not - for. It comes in two sizes and five materials, so it can be matched to the wall, post or barrier it needs fixing to.
Key features
-
Safe/not-safe use guide - confirms foam extinguishers are safe for wood, paper, textile and flammable liquid fires, and marked against live electrical equipment and metal fires.
-
Two sizes - 150mm x 200mm or 200mm x 300mm, to suit the viewing distance.
-
Five materials - from flexible self-adhesive vinyl through to photoluminescent PVC.
-
Fixing matched to the material - adhesive backing, drill holes, or a channel on vinyl composite.
-
Red and white colourway - follows current UK and EU conventions for fire safety signage.
Where it is used
Fix the sign wherever people need reminding what a foam extinguisher is - and is not - safe to use on:
- Hotels and hospitality venues
- Warehouses and industrial units
- Apartment blocks and other communal buildings
- Commercial kitchens
- Laboratories and testing facilities
Sizes and materials
150mm x 200mm suits close-range viewing, such as fixed right beside the extinguisher; step up to 200mm x 300mm where the sign needs reading from further back. Self-adhesive vinyl fixes straight onto a clean, flat wall. Rigid PVC and foam PVC are both lightweight panels for screw fixing. Vinyl composite is the most durable option outdoors, and photoluminescent PVC keeps glowing once the lights go out - useful on an escape route.
Fixing options
Self-adhesive vinyl comes with its own high-tack backing. Rigid PVC, foam PVC and photoluminescent PVC fix through drill holes. Vinyl composite also offers a horizontal or vertical channel, for mounting to posts or bars such as car park barriers or gates.
