Photoluminescent Refuge Point Sign | UK Health & Safety Sign

What Is a Photoluminescent Refuge Point Sign?

The Photoluminescent Refuge Point Sign is a vital safety marker used to identify a designated safe waiting area for individuals who may require assistance during an emergency evacuation. It features a glow-in-the-dark green background, a wheelchair symbol surrounded by directional arrows, and the words “Refuge point” in high-contrast, photoluminescent text—making it clearly visible in low light or smoke.

Refuge points are especially important in multi-level buildings where lifts cannot be used during fire alarms. This sign ensures that vulnerable occupants can find and be found at these locations. Compliant with UK Health & Safety and accessibility regulations, it supports inclusive evacuation procedures as outlined in BS 9999.

Available in 250×300 mm, 300×400 mm, and 450×600 mm, and manufactured in vinyl sticker or 1mm PVC rigid board, the sign is durable, easy to install, and essential for accessible building design.
