Fire Alarm Call Point safety signs play a crucial role in identifying where manual fire alarm activation points are located within a building. During a fire or emergency, these signs guide people to the nearest call point, enabling them to quickly raise the alarm and start evacuation procedures. Fast access to a call point can greatly reduce response time, helping occupants exit safely and ensuring emergency services are alerted without delay. These signs also help maintain compliance with fire safety regulations and enhance overall safety by increasing awareness and preparedness in urgent situations. Under the Regulatory Reform - Fire Safety Order 2005 any non-automatic fire fighting equipment should be identified with an appropriate sign. The signs should be positioned and designed in accordance with BS EN ISO 722 to ensure maximum levels of comprehension
