The Quebec Fire Safety Act requires that any employer and building owner provide “all persons to seek to remove or reduce fire hazards by acting with foresight and prudence in that regard.” Although displaying safety signs is not mandatory, each and every city has its own Law concerning fire safety.

In Montreal, the Service de sécurité incendie de Montréal specifies that: “The location of hose connectors should be indicated by signs that are visible from the street so that firefighters can find them easily and hook up to them quickly.” Signaling a siamese connection is thus mandatory, especially that it is more and more common for buildings, mainly industrials, to have several pieces of fire protection equipment that require water. Each of them needs its own hose connector. It is also important to place signs over each hose connector to indicate the equipment with which it is used. Sylprotec’s Emergency and Fire signs are well outlined and deliver swiftly the message you wish to spread that in any emergency, they will make one spare some valuable time regardless of their language abilities.
