The modern world, despite a fairly high standard of living, is fraught with many dangers to humans. Even just going outside, you can get into a car, be infected with an infectious disease, get seriously injured or even die from electric shock, die from suffocation in a fire or fall victim to criminals. Currently, a whole system of measures and measures has been developed aimed at ensuring the security of every citizen of the state. In relation to the risk of fires, one can distinguish highly qualified fire services, a specially developed set of actions aimed at reducing the risks of such situations, as well as standardized designations of places with an increased risk of fires. Moreover, with respect to the latter, there is a whole system of signs and color symbols for such zones.
Fire Safety Signs Requirements
Of course, there are certain criteria in accordance with which all designations of the subject under discussion were developed. We list some of them. It is natural that the fire safety sign will be used only in the event of a fire. Therefore, such plates should be clearly visible even in smoky rooms, in some cases have a color highlight, be as clear as possible and meet the requirements of standards and state standards with regard to their size and symbolism.
Categories of premises
However, it should be remembered that people should first of all be informed about the premises of which group they are located. In this regard, international standards, it was decided that at the entrance to the fire hazardous premises should be present the appropriate inscription. At present, it is customary to distinguish between 6 groups of fire safety rooms: B1, B2, B3, B4, G and D. The plates on which the signs of the fire safety categories are applied are traditionally hung or glued to the door leading to this room.
Types and designations
The modern classification includes many varieties of the sign "fire safety sign ", which, in turn, are divided into several types: evacuation, indicating, prohibiting and warning. For example, the well-known little man running out of the door, made in white-green color, belongs to the first type, because it indicates the direction of movement to the exit, as well as the frequently encountered fire safety sign - a sign that says "Exit". But, for example, designations of a fire hydrant, fire escape, telephone, placement of protective equipment and other things belong to the group of indicative designations. Such a fire safety sign, as the well-known schematic designation of a fire extinguisher, can be easily found not only in office buildings, but also in any form of public transport.
