Ways to achieve fire safety

Our negligence towards safety measures increases the hazards. Being unaware of the proper use of fire safety measures is the main reason behind the unfortunate burns and injuries caused by fire break outs.

Although all buildings nowadays have fire safety measures and equipments, the fault lies with lack of proper instruction of how to use them. This is the importance of using fire safety signs. Fire safety signs should be used to clearly lay out a proper evacuation plan. Fire safety signs should be carefully put up in areas in open view of people.

There are several pieces of fire safety equipment like fire extinguishers, fire blankets, and even more, but often they do not have an instruction manual or simple illustrations stating how to use these equipments. Thus although the equipment is available, people fail to use these properly. Fire safety signs should be put up along with these equipments showing the way to use them as simply as possible.

Installing fire alarms is another safety measure taken to keep people safe in case of a fire. Proper signage should thus accompany the fire alarm which states clearly how to activate the fire alarm in case of discovering a fire.

Fire alarms which get self activated in case of a fire break out are more effective since these warn the occupants, inform people in the surrounding area and summon the fire service. Thus, increased consciousness of people and proper usage of fire safety signs will help to achieve fire safety in case of an unfortunate fire break out.

Safety signs help to create awareness

Often, actions are required in order to avoid critical hazards. In such situations there is some requirement of personal training. Some safety signs and symbols are supposed to be used to provide people with appropriate information about hazards.

EU directive over roadside signs has increased safety costs

Councils could be hit with large bills because of the new EU laws which state that they must install passively safe signposts which will cost ten times more than the normal signs. The law requires local authorities to use a safer structure for new and replacement roadside signs. These signs are designed to crumple under impact; therefore they lessen the risk of injury. Safety signs are considered a safer option than existing metal-poled designs.

These signs are already is use along the British motorways and in Sussex at a new road scheme at Beddingham, near Lewes. When East Sussex County Council considered the implication of the changes they used two “Welcome to Seaford” signs on A259 as an example.

It cost around £1,000 to install it in August, whereas the passively safe form will work out at £15,300. The council identified four possible locations where these new safety signs could be installed over the previous installation.

Figures have shown that from 2005 to 2007, a total of 5,659 vehicles have crashed on the roads in East Sussex where the speed limit was around 40 mph or even less. Of 31, only 0.5 percent involves road signs and traffic signals.

According to a spokesperson for West Sussex County Council, they were still looking at the implications but certainly there would be a major financial implication when they put in new signs.
