Also known as hazard signs or caution signs – these signs are yellow and black and normally feature a triangular symbol. In 2000 BSI updated BS5499 to strictly require these signs to be pre-fixed with either of the words: Caution, Warning or Danger. These terms are designed to represent increasing levels of risk should the warning be ignored. Warning signs that are missing these terms – no longer strictly conform to BS5499 part 1. 

Should not be confused with signs that are mandatory like the HSE law poster - mandatory signs instruct the reader to do something. They are blue and white with a round symbol. Although commonly refered to as “Fire Signs” – Fire Action Signs are actually mandatory signs – as they give instructions on the actions you should take in the case of fire. 

These signs contain directions and instructions on either the route or method to a safe condition. This could include an emergency stop button sign, an emergency eye wash station sign – or more commonly the universally used Fire Exit Sign. These signs are green and white and contain symbols like a first aid cross, directional arrows and the running man or as he should more properly be known the “walking calmly to the exit man”!

According to BS5499 - Fire Signs refers to health and safety signs which indicate the location or instructions for use of fire equipment, like fire extinguishers or fire alarm call points. Fire signs are normally red with white text and include fire alarm call point signs, and the fire extinguisher id tags which tell you when and how to use that type of extinguisher. In the real world the term Fire Signs is used to describe any safety sign which relates to things to be done or used in the event of a fire which tends to include fire exit signs and fire action signs.
