Expert Review and  Insights

You can have the best fire extinguishers in the world, but they're useless if people don't know the procedure. Olympia's Y919 sign gets straight to the point. It’s a non-negotiable part of any commercial setup. The rigid build means it won’t get tatty, ensuring it remains a clear, professional-looking instruction for years to come.

  • Pro: The rigid PVC material is far more durable than flimsy self-adhesive versions.
  • Con: Lacks pre-drilled holes, so you'll need to drill it yourself for mounting.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Ship Inn, a bustling pub in Norwich, needed to standardise its safety signage after a routine fire safety audit highlighted inconsistencies. They needed a solution that was both compliant and  durable enough for a busy hospitality environment.

"We needed something clear, professional, and  compliant that we could put up quickly. The Olympia signs were perfect – no fuss, just clear instructions that everyone can understand at a glance. They look the part and  tick all the boxes for our safety officer."

Robert Davies – Landlord

The updated signage helped them pass their follow-up safety inspection with flying colours and  improved staff confidence during drills, as the new fire drill procedure sign was much clearer.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Position the sign at eye level (around 1.5 metres from the floor) in a well-lit area.
  • For best practice, place it right next to every fire alarm call point and  along exit routes.
  • Use strong adhesive strips or drill and  screw for a secure, permanent fixing (fixings not included).
  • Ensure the sign is not obstructed by furniture, equipment, or other notices.

Keeping It Going

  • Simply wipe with a damp cloth to remove any dust, splashes, or kitchen grease.
  • Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners, as these could fade the text over time.
  • Regularly check that the sign is still securely fixed to the wall and  hasn't been knocked.
  • Make sure it remains fully visible and  has not been accidentally covered or moved.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Fire Safety Signage

Not sure what you need to be compliant? Here's a quick guide to help you choose the right signs for your business.

Location is Key

Fire Action signs should be placed at every fire alarm call point. Exit signs should clearly mark the entire route out of the building.

Size and  Visibility

The bigger the space, the bigger the sign needs to be. Ensure it's legible from the furthest point in the room you are placing it in.

Material Matters

Rigid PVC, like this one, is ideal for kitchens and  high-traffic areas. Consider photoluminescent signs for routes that may lose power.

Cover All Bases

You need a mix of signs: Fire Action (what to do), Fire Exit (where to go), and  Fire Extinguisher ID signs (what to use).

Check for Compliance

Ensure your signs use up-to-date, universally recognised symbols and  wording to meet UK safety regulations.

Olympia: The Foundation of a Safe Workplace

With Olympia, you're not just buying a product; you're investing in peace of mind. For any hospitality or commercial business, compliance isn't just a box-ticking exercise—it's the bedrock of a safe environment for your staff and  customers. This simple but vital fire safety action sign is a perfect example of Olympia's commitment to no-nonsense, reliable essentials. It's built to last in a demanding setting, resisting the daily wear and  tear that would make lesser signs unreadable. This durability means you fit it once and  can trust it to be clear and  present for years, saving you the long-term cost and  hassle of replacements. It's the kind of foundational safety equipment that works silently in the background, ensuring your business is not only prepared but also visibly demonstrates its commitment to safety from the moment someone walks in.

Why a 'Rigid' Sign Matters in a Commercial Environment

You might think, 'it's just a sign,' but the material makes a huge difference in a professional setting. A standard paper or flimsy sticker sign can easily peel, tear, or become unreadable from steam and  grease in a busy kitchen. This 'Rigid PVC' Olympia Y919 fire exit sign is different. Think of it like a quality kitchen chopping board versus a flimsy disposable one. It won't warp from heat, it can be wiped clean without smudging the ink, and  it will stay securely on the wall for years. This ensures your essential fire safety information is always visible and  legible, not a tatty note that gets ignored.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Cafes: Keep staff and  diners safe with a clear, compliant commercial fire action notice in kitchens and  front-of-house.
  • Hotels & B&Bs: An essential sign for guest corridors, staff rooms, and  reception areas to ensure everyone's safety.
  • Warehouses & Workshops: Provides crucial instructions in large, complex spaces where a fast and  orderly evacuation is key.
  • Schools & Community Centres: A must-have for protecting children, staff, and  visitors during fire drills and  real emergencies.
