Other elevator signs

Other elevator signs include a wide range of required safety and identification signage that supports both daily use and emergency preparedness. These signs clearly mark important elevator functions, restrictions, and safety messages to guide building occupants, inspectors, and firefighters. Common examples include “Elevator Equipment Room,” “Elevator Machine Room – Authorized Personnel Only,” “No Storage in Elevator Room,” “Elevator Recall,” “Elevator Fire Service,” “Capacity Signs,” and “Elevator Inspection Certificates Must Be Posted.” By posting these signs, property owners enhance building safety while staying compliant with FDNY, NFPA, OSHA, ADA, and IBC codes.

These signs also play a key role in accessibility and code compliance. Elevator Capacity Signs help manage safe usage, ADA/Braille Elevator Signs provide accessibility for all occupants, and Fire Service / Recall key Signs direct emergency responders to special operating modes. Photoluminescent (glow-in-the-dark) options are also available to ensure visibility during power outages or smoke conditions. Durable and high-contrast, these elevator signs provide both everyday functionality and life-safety guidance in emergencies.
