When flying an airplane that catches on fire, do not use the flight control surfaces that change your pitch. ("In case of fire, cut fuel to engine") You may also need to provide fire safety signs for equipment such as hose reels and dry risers if you have them on your premises. Hose reel location sign – example Note: PAS 7 has now been replaced by BS 9997:2019 Fire Risk Management Systems. Requirements with Guidance for Use. Use the elevator in case of fire is very dangerous. In case of fire, we should very careful, keep calm, try to break the glass unit in the corridor to activate the fire alarm. Fire can short-circuit the elevator call button on the fire floor and therefore cause the elevator to stop at that floor. Obviously not good.
Likewise, does not match, it would need to be "In case of being fired", "In the case you are fired" or something similar. There are several reasons why you can’t use the elevator if you need to evacuate. Firstly, if there is a fire in the building, it can short out the electrics. These electrics will power, among other things, the elevators. If the electricity does go out, the elevator could stop between floors, trapping you. If the electronics short out at the wrong time, you may also see that the elevator will stop and open its doors on the floor that’s currently on fire. A lift can’t take everyone at once. It might get some people out fast, but most people will be able to escape much faster by using the stairs. Lifts should be reserved for people who physically can’t use stairs to escape first – provided it is safe to do so.
If you are responsible for running a commercial premises you should use Fire Action Signs and they fall under the standard of “Best Practice Guidelines”.
Taking account of the above, practice normally dictates that passenger lifts should not be used for emergency evacuation. This is reflected in government guidance that notes that a lift not specifically designed as a fire fighting or evacuation lift is “not normally considered acceptable as a means of escape”. The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 (the Safety Signs Regulations) implement European Council Directive 92/58/EEC on minimum requirements for the provision of safety signs at work. This guidance is aimed at helping employers meet their responsibilities under these Regulations. Summary Which elevator. The left one? The right one? Any elevator? In all buildings? Only on this floor? Can I go one floor down in the floor that is not (yet) on fire, and use that elevator? If you are responsible for any type of commercial premises, you may already know that you need fire safety signs. Fire exit signs are probably the ones we are all most familiar with but there are lots of different categories of fire signage required by the two main pieces of fire safety legislation governing fire safety signs:
Close doors: When you’re making your way out of the building, ensure that you’re only opening door that you need to. If you come across any doors that are closed that you don’t need to go through, keep them closed. These doors will help stop fires spreading, so don’t open any door if you don’t need to. Other factors to consider will be occupant’s familiarity with the plan, their willingness to use it and the means of communicating with them. As such, procedures will need to be adopted to ensure all stakeholders are aware of the procedures and practice the procedures.
In case you're vegan/coeliac/observe kosher/halal, I prepared a plant-based gluten-free lentil dish. In theory, that would lead to up to 8 interpretations (2 times 2 times 2), of which the above are 5 of them. Almost all elevators should have fire service activation mode. Whenever smoke and any kind of burn is detected in the elevator, the fire service mode can be automatically activated. They apply to all workplaces and to all activities where people are employed, but exclude signs used in connection with transport or the supply and marketing of dangerous substances, products and equipment.

Fire safety signs are photo-luminescent so that the glow of the signs will help occupants make their way out of the premises or find fire-fighting equipment if the lighting fails during a fire. The Regulations require employers to use a safety sign where there is a significant risk to health and safety that has not been avoided or controlled by the methods required under other relevant law, provided use of a sign can help reduce the risk. Safety signs are not a substitute for those other methods of controlling risks such as engineering controls and safe systems of work. Fire damage to the lifts electrical supply can cause it to stop abruptly between floors – and if fire has breached the elevator shaft, anyone trapped in the lift is in danger of massive heat and smoke exposure. Rescue may not be possible at this point. They should be fitted between 1.2m to 1.8m from the floor and at important locations throughout the building, especially above fire alarm call points or near communal and reception areas which will offer the greatest opportunity for them to be noticed by staff and visitors.
Therefore the point being made is NOT that any reasonable person would have trouble interpreting that sign. The point being made is that, if you've got your mathematician hat on, it is not precise enough, and as such it allows for a number of other interpretations, even though the main one is in theory reasonably clear enough from the context. Warning & Prohibition signs – if you have an extra risk of fire on your premises you will probably need these When inside a box made out of fire, do not use any elevators. ("In case of wood, lies golden treasure") This is also reflected in the recently published BS 8899:2016 Improvement of Fire-fighting and Evacuation Provisions in Existing Lifts. Code of Practice. This document, like others states that the use of lifts should be risk assessed and “put into context as part of a wider building fire strategy”. The assessment and strategy development should include the following. If everyone chooses to use elevators to get out of the building, you’ll see that the elevators become much heavier. Elevators are only rated for a certain weight capacity, so being heavier they could stop, trapping the people inside.BS 9999 provides a useful list of factors to be considered when assessing the use of a passenger lift, including the: Additional fire safety precautions that can be adopted (eg protected lobbies, upgraded lift systems, CCTV, management procedures, etc). The Regulations require, where necessary, the use of road traffic signs in workplaces to regulate road traffic. Fire Safety
