IMO Signs
The International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and Flag States require the use of photoluminescent signs on board to enhance safety and adequately communicate the location of safety equipment (life-saving devices, fire control, means of escape, etc.). Any type of safety equipment must be marked with an appropriate sign.
Means of Escape Signs (MES) and Emergency Equipment Signs (EES)
Lifesaving Systems and Appliances Signs (LSS) and Safety and Operating Instructions for trained personnel (SIS)
Means of Escape Signs (MES)
Means of escape signs are safe condition signs used to indicate location within the ship and to provide directional guidance from any area within the ship to a designated assembly station and/or to exits and embarkation stations.
Emergency Equipment Signs (EES)
Emergency equipment signs are safe condition signs used to indicate the exact location of first aid facilities, first aid equipment, or portable safety equipment, the type of facility or equipment and any instructions for its use.
Lifesaving Systems and Appliances Signs (LSS)
Lifesaving systems and appliances signs are safe condition signs used to indicate the exact location or storage of the life/saving equipment, the type of equipment, the identification number and any instructions for its correct use.
Safety and Operating Instructions for trained personnel (SIS)
Safety and operating instructions for trained personnel are used to provide specific information to qualified shipboard and outside personnel on the use of specialized safety and fire protection equipment and lifesaving appliances on board ship.
Fire-Fighting Equipment Signs (FES)
Fire/fighting equipment signs are used to indicate the exact location of the fire/fighting equipment, the type of equipment and any instructions for its effective and safe use.
The locations of fixed and portable fire/fighting equipment and life/saving appliances should be clearly located at or near the equipment, at a height appropriate to the location of the equipment.
The use of arrows for signing the location of fire equipment should be avoided as much as possible except when the fire equipment and relevant identification sign are not visible from traffic areas within a space. In this latter case, additional safety signs supplemented by appropriate directional arrows should be provided to indicate the direction in which the equipment is located.
Multipurpose Combination Signs
According to the ISO 3864/1:2002 a multiple sign is a combination of message sign containing two or more safety signs and/or associated supplementary signs on the same rectangular carrier.
E.g. layout for a multiple sign can be used to communicate a warning, a mandatory instruction to avoid risk of injury and/or provide a prohibition message. In multiple signs, the order of the safety signs should be arranged according to the importance of the safety message.
ISPS Signs
In essence, the Code takes the approach that ensuring the security of ships and port facilities is a risk management activity and that, to determine what security measures are appropriate, an assessment of the risks must be made in each particular case.
The purpose of the Code is to provide a standardised, consistent framework for evaluating risk, enabling Governments to offset changes in threat with changes in vulnerability for ships and port facilities through determination of appropriate security levels and corresponding security measures.
