You may need to have fire action signs in your building in the UK. The Fire Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 (FSSR) require that certain types of buildings have fire safety signs and signals. The specific requirements for fire action signage will vary depending on the type of building and its occupancy.

The following types of buildings are required to have fire action signs:

• Dwellings with multiple occupancy: This includes blocks of flats, houses in multiple occupation (HMOs), and student halls of residence.
• Non-domestic premises: This includes all types of non-domestic buildings, such as offices, shops, factories, and schools.
• Licensed premises: This includes pubs, clubs, and restaurants.
• Assembly premises: This includes theatres, cinemas, and sports stadiums.
• Educational establishments: This includes schools, colleges, and universities.
• Places of worship: This includes churches, mosques, and temples.

The FSSR specifies the following types of fire action signs:

• Fire exit sign: This sign indicates the location of the nearest fire exit.
• Fire assembly point sign: This sign indicates the location of the fire assembly point.
• Fire extinguishers sign: This sign indicates the location of fire extinguishers.
• Fire alarm sign: This sign indicates the location of the fire alarm call point.
• Fire door keep shut sign: This sign indicates that a fire door should be kept shut.

Fire action signs must be clearly visible and easy to read. They must also be placed in strategic locations throughout the building.

In addition to the fire action signs required by the FSSR, you may also want to consider having other types of fire safety signs in your building. For example, you may want to have signs that indicate the location of fire hoses, fire blankets, and first aid kits. You may also want to have signs that provide instructions on how to use fire extinguishers and other fire safety equipment.

If you are unsure about whether you need to have fire action signs in your building, or if you have any questions about the FSSR, you should consult with a fire safety professional.
