commercial kitchens, school laboratories, workplace canteens, light industrial workshops

Which Material Should I Choose?
Aluminium Composite: Best for permanent indoor or outdoor signage and locations requiring a rigid, durable sign.
Correx: A lightweight, economical option for temporary or shorter-term signage.

Why this sign: A Fire Blanket sign should be posted directly above or adjacent to the fire blanket’s mounted location in any area where fire or clothing ignition risks are present. It allows occupants to locate the equipment instantly in an emergency, reducing response time and potential injury. Kitchens, laboratories, and workshops are priority locations due to the presence of open flames, hot surfaces, or flammable materials.

Compliance note: In Ireland, employers must provide appropriate safety signage where hazards cannot be avoided or adequately reduced by other measures, based on the workplace risk assessment, under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007. This sign is suitable for use as part of a workplace safety-signage system where identified by that risk assessment.
