When it comes to fire safety within the workplace, every second counts.
Fire-resistant notice boards, are an important part of this, as they display important information regarding evacuation procedures and contact details for emergency services. This information is a key tool in keeping everyone safe by reminding them of meeting points, and how to evacuate the building as safely and as quickly as possible.
This sort of information can help prevent fires from spreading further and ensure the safety of staff within the building – and that is why your office needs them.
Fire resistant notice boards meet fire safety obligations
The number one priority for any employer should be the safety of their employees. You have a duty of care to keep your employees safe within your building(s). And fire safety is a huge part of that. You need to make sure that everyone is aware of what to do in the event of a fire. And fire-resistant notice boards play a big part in your fire safety strategy; keeping everyone informed of correct procedures. Unlike standard office whiteboards, a fire resistance notice board has a higher level of protection required to keep information protected and readable in case of an emergency.
Things to consider when buying fire resistant notice boards
When buying a fire-resistant notice board, you must consider the size of the board and the type of material is it made from.

Where to place fire resistant notice boards
The best position for a fire-resistant notice board is somewhere prominent, so it can be clearly seen by everyone. The information needs to be highly visible and readily available if there were ever a fire. High-traffic areas, and near entrances and exits to the building are the perfect places to position fire resistant boards to gain the greatest visibility and ensure everyone is aware of the information displayed. In the case of multiple buildings, you must ensure you have fire resistant notice boards in each one. This guarantees everyone knows the emergency information for each building.
What information to include in your fire-resistant notice board
Once you have purchased your fire-resistant notice board, you want to ensure you have all the relevant information displayed. Consider including; emergency contact details of occupants; evacuation routes and meeting points in case of a fire; phone numbers for emergency services; contact details for designated ‘Fire Warden’ and/or first aider; fire extinguishing equipment locations; date of last fire safety inspection and any outstanding issues; floor plan of workplace with information clearly marked; instructions on how to shut down essential services in an emergency; details of any hazardous materials or processes taking place.
With so much information to include, it’s important to have a system to ensure this is kept up-to-date.
