Safe condition sign - green
Fire escape signs
A fire escape sign marks the route people use to get out of a building in a fire - an escape corridor, a stair or an external escape. These printable signs use the usual green escape-route colours with a running figure and doorway, in 'Fire escape' and 'Fire escape route' wordings, with left, right and ahead arrows and a stairs version. There is also a keep-clear notice for routes that must not be blocked. Every sign downloads in A5, A4 and A3, portrait and landscape.

Print tips
- Print at "actual size" or 100%, not "fit to page", so the margins stay even.
- Use thicker paper or card (160gsm or more) if the sign will be handled.
- For outdoor or long-term use, laminate it or buy a rigid version.
Where to use it
- External escape stairs and landings at the back of a building
- Escape corridors and lobbies away from the main entrance
- Doors that open onto a fire escape route
- Stair enclosures, to show the way out when moving between floors
- Pointing the way from a corridor junction to the nearest escape route
Questions
Is a fire escape the same as a fire exit?
In everyday use the words overlap. A fire exit is the door or opening; a fire escape is the route, stair or structure that leads people out. Use the wording that matches what the sign is marking.
Where should a fire escape route sign go?
Where people need to be reminded or redirected: along the route, at junctions and at the doors it passes through.
Do I need to keep a fire escape clear?
Escape routes should be kept free of obstructions - that is the purpose of the 'keep clear' sign. The responsible person for your premises decides what is needed.
