Where does the wheeled fire extinguisher sign go?
Hang the wheeled fire extinguisher sign directly above the unit’s parking position. This way it can be seen even when pallets or machines are standing in front of it. The path to the extinguisher should also always be kept clear. Our article Fire extinguishers in the office explains how many extinguishers you need.
Is the marking mandatory?
In German workplaces, yes. The technical rule ASR A1.3 sets out how safety signs look and where they go. In addition, ASR A2.2 requires fire-fighting equipment to be clearly marked. That is why every location needs the right fire safety sign. Our article Safety signs and their meaning explains what the signs mean.
Which size is right?
The sign measures 150 × 150 mm. According to ASR A1.3, it can be recognised from up to 15 m. That is enough for offices, corridors and most storage areas. In very large halls, however, you should add further signs.
Installation
Fix the sign with screws or strong mounting tape. The surface should be clean and even. Place it so that furniture or open doors do not cover it.
