Safety Signs

Emergency Equipment

JALITE photoluminescent emergency equipment safety signs are sited to allow trained personnel to identify the location of life saving equipment, especially during an emergency. This is especially important, where persons on the premises have been injured, harmed, or need to escape using specialised emergency evacuation equipment. For example, where occupants are injured, the designated first aider of the organisation will need to quickly identify the first aid equipment.

Using JALITE photoluminescent emergency safety signs featuring first aid, stretcher, emergency telephone and more, allow this equipment to be identified in all lighting conditions. All JALITE photoluminescent emergency equipment safety signs are designed with graphical symbols that conform to BS EN ISO 7010:2020. These safety signs are also categorised with a green safety colour and square, as specified in BS ISO 3964-1:2011.
