Sign sign

We finally had to post signs on Fire Alarm Control Panels in Hotels to remind/teach counter personnel and staff that they have an obligation and exposure to evacuate the facility upon activation, not investigate. Bright orange......hope it helps....we don't like writing tickets especially during race week :-(
 
how about a picture of your sign?

(placed on hunter's orange tamper free sticker)Should have added previously - existing problem in some hotels with counter personnel re-setting and silencing panels before we arrive and depending on the system (age/type/style) we may not be able to view event history or zone history.View attachment 728

We did the inspections on the renovation of an 1100 room hotel. One thing I noticed (well, we noticed SEVERAL things in this historic structure), was in EVERY SINGLE back of house area, they posted emergency procedures in several languages.. and the Number 1 item was evacuate and account for the guests.
 

And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"

So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why

He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do"

So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that. Huh! Me workin' for you!"

Whoa-oh-oh

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign

Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind

Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

And the sign said anybody caught trespassin' would be shot on sight

So I jumped on the fence and-a yelled at the house, "Hey! What gives youtheright?"

"To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in"

"If God was here he'd tell you to your face, Man, you're some kinda sinner"

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign

Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind

Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

Now, hey you, mister, can't you read?

You've got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat

You can't even watch, no you can't eat

You ain't supposed to be here

The sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside

Ugh!

And the sign said, "Everybody welcome. Come in, kneel down and pray"

But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all, I didn't have a

penny to pay

So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign

I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me. I'm alive and doin' fine."

Wooo!

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign

Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind

Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign

Sign

Sign, sign

CDA, you were not supposed to see that. Let me know what contractor broke ranks and allowed you to see that. We will run him out of town on a rail.
 
I do sometimes wonder why we as regulatory officials resort to signs instead of addressing to real issue? I'm not throwing rocks here as I'm guilty of the same.

IMO **jp**, ...we humans tend to be or get lazy, and placing signsis one way that doesn't require continual effort in putting the

same message out over and over and over.

Can only speak for my jurisdiction, the sign is a reminder to their ever changing management to follow what we teach them annualy during evacuation planning presentations and to our guys that may have to cite them if the facility are dumb *****es and don't take alarms seriously...........

EDIT: No worries.....no rocks hit me ;-)

I feel ya. What is the difference between a dead dog and a dead inspector in the road? Skid marks in front of the dog.
