There is a whole range of Fire Door Signage available from Area Safe Products, but to help avoid liability, it is always in your best interests for the building certifier to give you professional advice for what you need. The following points are typical examples of what may be required for your building. This advice may not apply to every situation and is based on practical industry experience.

1. Fire doors leading into a fire stair from inside the building require signage as follows:

a. ‘Fire Safety Door, Do Not Obstruct, Do Not Keep Open’ – on approach side of door only (All states of Australia).

2. Fire doors leading to outside the building require compliant fire door signage as follows:

a. ‘Fire Safety Door, Do Not Obstruct’ – on both sides of egress door (All states of Australia).
