PHOTOLUMINESCENT GENERAL INFORMATION SIGNAGE DETAILS
Photoluminescent general information signs can be easily identified by their design: a white fluorescent pictogram on a green square. They are used to provide general information or instructions of a general nature in relation to locations, equipment and conditions on the premises.
Photoluminescent signs are also known as self-luminous or radio luminescent signs. These signs are designed to "glow" in dark or low lighting environments so they can still be clearly seen in the event of power failures during an evacuation.
This photoluminescent general information sign is the "Stairs Going Up (Right)" sign (code - GP5), whose pictogram is a white fluorescent man walking up stairs to the right to indicate the direction in which they go.
This sign is constructed from self-luminous material and has the dimensions 190mm x 190mm.
WHO NEEDS TO USE THESE PHOTOLUMINESCENT GENERAL INFORMATION SIGNS?
These photoluminescent general information signs are required by companies who have equipment, locations or conditions on their premises that are not currently indicated so that they can be indicated and easily identified and persons on the premises can be made aware of their existence, even in the event of power outages or areas where light visibility is low.
WHY ARE PHOTOLUMINESCENT GENERAL INFORMATION SIGNS IMPORTANT?
These photoluminescent general information signs are important because they create awareness to persons on the premises of specific equipment, locations or conditions that exist that are important in the interests of health and safety on the premises. Their use also allows specific equipment, locations or conditions to be located quickly and easily, even in the event of power outages or areas where light visibility is low.
This also provides evidence to an inspector that an organisation is creating awareness of specific equipment. locations or conditions in the interests of health and safety and is therefore complying with legislation in this respect.
