Boiler signs

Boiler signs are an important safety and compliance requirement for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. These signs clearly identify boiler rooms, boiler equipment, and related systems so that firefighters, inspectors, and maintenance personnel can locate them quickly in emergencies. Proper boiler signage also helps building staff and contractors perform inspections, testing, and repairs more efficiently, while keeping unauthorized personnel away from restricted areas. By marking boiler rooms with durable, highly visible signs, property owners demonstrate compliance with FDNY, NFPA, OSHA, and local building codes, while protecting lives and property.

A boiler in a building is a heating system that generates hot water or steam for heating and other building needs. Because boilers operate under pressure and often use gas, oil, or electricity, they pose safety risks if not properly maintained or clearly marked. Signs such as “Boiler Room,” “Boiler Emergency Shutoff,” or “No Storage in Boiler Room” provide critical information for first responders and occupants. These signs ensure safety, compliance, and fast response in case of emergencies, while helping inspectors verify that the building meets code requirements.
