Fire Extinguisher Signs

A fire extinguisher sign should be installed above a portable fire extinguisher to help people locate the equipment easily. The sign should be installed high enough to be seen from a distance and not be obstructed by objects, opening doors, people, etc. It is often a good idea to install the sign close to the ceiling, right above the extinguisher. This ensures people can read the sign from near, far, and different angles. 

Additionally, placing directional fire extinguisher signs with arrows close to the extinguisher is also a best practice so that people a little away from the equipment can also locate it. The arrows on the sign assist with pointing towards the location of the fire equipment.

The OSHA standard 1910.157 does not explicitly mention anything about fire extinguisher signs other than the requirement for the extinguishers to be identified. However, the NFPA code 10 does make a couple of recommendations with respect to signage. It requires that signs be installed in close proximity of the extinguishers and be readily visible from the normal path of travel.
