Fire Safety signage should be prominently installed in key locations to provide clear instructions to all staff, customers and visitors in the event of fire or evacuation. Fire safety signage can also provide vital information to many different groups of people, especially those who may not be familiar with a building and may not be on site long e.g. the emergency services (at entrances), hotel guests, day visitors, patrons of theatres, venues, shopping centres, etc. Signage is especially effective at highlighting the nearest emergency exit in complex buildings and can ensure that people do not cause congestion by travelling towards main entrances or further away exit doors
