The HSE (Health and Safety Executive) recommends that fire action signs in the UK include the following information:

• The instruction "Fire action": This should be displayed in clear and concise language.
• The steps to follow in the event of a fire: These steps should be numbered and should be easy to understand. The steps should include:
• Raising the alarm
• Leaving the building immediately by the nearest fire exit
• Not using the lifts
• Going to the assembly point
• The location of the nearest fire exit: This should be indicated with an arrow.
• The location of the nearest fire alarm call point: This should be indicated with an arrow.
• The location of the nearest assembly point: This should be indicated with an arrow.

The HSE also recommends that fire action signs include the following additional information:

• The emergency contact number for the fire service: This should be displayed in clear and concise language.
• Instructions for people with disabilities: This may include instructions on how to use a refuge area or how to be evacuated from the building.
• Information about the types of fire extinguishers in the building and how to use them: This information may be especially useful for people who are responsible for fighting fires in the workplace.

Fire action signs should be displayed where they can be easily seen by everyone in a building, in a prominent location. They should be placed near fire exits, fire alarm call points, and assembly points.

It is important to note that the HSE's recommendations are not mandatory. However, following the HSE's recommendations will help to ensure that fire action signs are clear, concise, and informative. This will help to ensure that staff and visitors know what to do in the event of a fire.
