A “Caution – In the Event of Fire – Do Not Use This Lift” safety sign is an essential warning displayed near elevators to alert building occupants not to use lifts during a fire emergency. During a fire, elevators can become dangerous due to the risk of power failure, becoming trapped between floors, or opening on a fire-affected floor. This sign serves as a clear, visual reminder to use stairwells or designated fire escape routes instead of lifts
Install on or next to lift doors and in lift lobbies throughout the building. This simple but vital warning plays a key role in preventing injury or death during emergencies by directing people to safer evacuation methods.
