Frequently asked questions
Is this sign mandatory for all buildings with lifts?
The appropriate safety-sign category, wording, placement and supporting controls depend on the product purpose, site risk and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with your WHS adviser or regulator; a sign alone does not discharge WHS duties.
Where exactly should the sign be mounted?
Mount on or immediately adjacent to the lift doors at eye level, and at stairwell entry points on each floor to reinforce the message during evacuation drills and emergencies.
Do reflective finishes help in smoke-filled conditions?
Reflective grades provide different visibility performance. Choose the grade required by the project specification and site conditions, and confirm any road, traffic or high-risk requirement with the relevant authority before ordering.
Can I order signs for a whole building at once?
Absolutely. Provide your floor plan and lift locations, and we'll calculate quantities, deliver a bulk quote, and arrange staged or single delivery to suit your project timeline.
How often should these signs be replaced?
Inspect annually as part of your fire safety audit. Replace if print fades, material yellows, or lamination peels. We can supply replacement batches quickly for planned maintenance cycles.
