What do fire safety posters explain?

What are the Categories of Fire Signage? – Fire safety signs are used to provide health and safety information, either to warn you of a hazard, to provide an instruction or to give you safety information. Safety signs can be a variety of colours – usually red, green, yellow or blue – and may contain images, words or a mixture of the two.

What is fire safety design?

Fire safety design As buildings become more complex and architects push the design envelope ever further, it is vital to consider fire safety implications of new buildings or other construction or refurbishment projects at the concept design stage. Historically fire safety design of buildings has been seen as a constraint to innovative design, but this needn’t be the case.

1. Many now utilise fire safety engineering rather than having to rely solely on functional-based codes.
2. This approach can enable architects to achieve innovative cost-effective designs while meeting fire safety design needs.
3. Successful fire safety design requires an understanding of a wide range of issues and components, and the interactions between them such as, fire source, smoke movement, heat transfer to the building structure, detection, human behavior and toxicity.

Our experts can provide advice and expertise to both architects and building control and at all stages of project design and implementation, including:

Regulations compliance Fire modelling, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and risk assessments Fire protection measures – active and passive – and structural fire precautions Materials performance Fire detection and suppression Heat transfer to the structure Smoke movement and toxicity, and smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems People – movement and egress modelling, and means of escape

We can help you to incorporate the latest fire safety design principles into you building projects without impacting adversely on the function or appearance of the building. : Fire safety design

What are fire safety drawings?

If your an employer or responsible for a workplace, or a duty holder such as a Facilities Manager, Health and Safety Manager, Property Manager, Asset Manager or anyone with delegated responsibility in control of the premises. Then you might want to consider ensuring you have a set of as-built fire safety drawings.

They are inexpensive but extremely valuable for communicating the fire safety measures in premises and form part of the digital record across the building’s life cycle. The Building a Safer Future – Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety: Final Report stated that there was almost unanimous concern surrounding the ineffective operation of the current rules around the creation, maintenance and handover of building and fire safety information.

Where building information is present, it is often incomplete and inaccessible to the people who need to see it. At BB7 we are often appointed to prepare fire strategy drawings at the design stage to communicate fire strategy requirements to the contractor; or during construction to contribute to Regulation 38 information for handover to the future occupier.

1. We have a dedicated Tech-team conversant in CAD and BIM that does this, but we rarely see this level of detail when appointed to undertake a Fire Risk Assessment on existing premises or deliver a national fire risk assessment programme.
2. Fire safety drawings that present the spatial and physical components of the fire strategy are an important component of the overall package of fire safety information.

The drawings are produced in PDF / AutoCAD format using the site plan and general arrangements as their base information. These drawings include the following elements if they form part of the fire strategy: • Indicative fire compartmentation and fire resistance; • Indicative fire-resisting door requirements; • Indicative disabled refuge locations; • Fire service access and provisions; • Smoke ventilation locations; • Areas afforded suppression coverage; • Indicative cavity barrier locations (ceiling and external wall); • Indicative dry/wet riser inlet and outlet locations; • Means of escape provisions i.e.

1. Design drawings (RIBA Stage 3 / 4) – Typically used to support the fire strategy report for statutory submission. This could be for Planning (Gateway 1) or Building Regulations approval (Gateway 2)
2. As-built drawings (RIBA Stage 6) – Prepared to document as-built fire safety precautions. The drawings will typically be prepared to be handed over to the occupier as part of the Fire & Emergency File / Regulation 38 Information.
3. In-use / existing buildings (RIBA Stage 7) – Prepared to capture fire safety information previously undocumented for the premises. The drawings may be recommended or an advisory note contained in the significant findings of a fire risk assessment of the property.

As identified by the “Building a Safer Future” report; the lack of complete, accurate and maintained building information causes a number of challenges:

• It is unclear whether any changes have been made between the original design and the completion of construction which may have an impact on the building safety strategy.
• The building owner does not have the required up-to-date information to be able to easily manage building safety across it’s life cycle.
• When refurbishing a building, it will be difficult to ascertain what effects any changes may have on building safety.

Fire strategy drawings are an important part of the information required to satisfy Regulation 38 of The Building Regulations 2010 and will help demonstrate compliance with a number of articles contained within the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005,

What is the poster template?

What is a Poster Template? – A poster template is a basic template that lays out what your finished poster will look like. Typically, it will include the essential elements of your poster, for example:

Text boxes where you can put the information you want to share with your audience. Image boxes or even stock images that fill the spaces where you will eventually put your pictures. Basic borders or backdrops that will help add a pop of color to your poster.

How do you layout a poster?

Layout Guidelines –

Use headings to help readers find key sections. Include Title, Author’s Name and Affiliation, Introduction, Objective or Abstract, Methods, Data, Results, Conclusions, References, Disclosure, as needed. Balance the placement of text and graphics. Use white space creatively to define flow of information. Don’t fight “reader gravity” that pulls eye from top to bottom, left to right. Good column formatting makes posters easier to read in a crowd. For tri-fold posters: Generally text and graphics do not look good when they are in a fold, so try to adjust your text boxes and graphics accordingly.

What is a good way to make a poster?

How can I make my poster stand out? Don’t overcrowd your poster with too many graphics or too much text. The most memorable posters are simple and clear with white space, visually pleasing information and a call-to-action. Only include the details you really need people to see; the idea is to pique their interest.

What is the standard safety poster size?

Safety posters are often mandatory and required for safety compliance. Convey your company’s commitment to safety by displaying these US-made, laminated posters throughout your facility. Posters are available in standard sizes including 17′ x 22′ and 22′ x 28′.
