Fire Safety Signs

Legislation places responsibility on employers to complete a fire risk assessment in order to ensure appropriate actions are taken to reduce risks. Failure to abide could lead to severe legal penalties. A fire risk assessment will outline the required signage on a premises. The four main fire safety sign categories are: fire action notices, fire evacuation signs, fire fighting equipment signage and fire warning signage - all of which should be positioned and signed in accordance with BS EN ISO 7010:2012 to ensure maximum levels of comprehension.

Emergency Escape Safety Signs

Designed to guide people from wherever they are in a building, via a place of relative safety (the escape route ) to the place of ultimate safety (the assembly area), emergency escape signs provide clear guidance which can ensure an evacuation is swift and orderly. Providing emergency escape safety signs that are clearly visible in blackout conditions can prove the difference between life and death during an evacuation. UltraBright photo-luminescent emergency escape signs can lead evacuees though a building even in smokey / black out conditions.

Road Traffic Safety Signs

This range of signs play a crucial role in directing, informing and controlling road users' behaviour in an effort to make the roads as safe as possible for everyone. Road traffic safety signs alert drivers of potential dangers like sharp bends, road conditions, roadworks and pedestrian crossings. They guide drivers to their destinations and provide information about speed limits. Traffic signs remain the most effective method of communicating essential information, warnings, and instructions to all road users, including drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists.

Construction Site Safety Signs

An essential part of any construction project is delivering a vast amount of important information to site visitors and employees. Construction site safety signs can warn of hazards, advise of personal protection requirements (PPE), restrict prohibited actions and guide both vehicular and pedestrian site traffic. Due to being extremely busy areas with many potential hazards, signage requirements can be overwhelming, therefore many construction sites consolidate key safety messages onto site safety boards to help reduce the number of signs required.

First Aid Safety Signs

In moments of stress such as a first aid emergency, it can be hard to recall locations, instructions and even names, therefore clearly identifying the location of first aid equipment, trained personnel, and emergency procedures can be life saving.

First aid signs are the most efficient way to guide viewers to a first aid kit and / or live saving equipment. Some signs / posters even walk readers through basic care to stabilise a patient. Employers have a legal obiligation to assess their premises, train personnel and provide first aid supplies.

Mandatory Safety Signs

Crucial for workplace safety, mandatory safety signs convey essential instructions and promote compliance with regulations to minimise risks and accidents. Mandatory signs act as constant reminders for the employees and visitors to maintain a safe working environment by clearly indicating required actions and enforcing safety protocols. Our mandatory signs (ranging from "adjustable guards" to "wash your hands") comply with BS EN ISO 7010:2020 and provide universal recognition, meaning that a mandatory symbol in the UK will look the same as it would in all other European countries.

Prohibition Safety Signs

Identify actions that are not permitted because they do not conform to the rules and regulations of that given area, or the actions mentioned on the safety sign could potentially cause a risk to the health and safety of the reader or others.

BS EN ISO 7010:2020 prohibition safety signs can prevent accidents and injuries by clearly indicating prohibited actions and enforcing safety protocols. They provide a visual and easy to understand message, which is especially important in diverse workplaces or noisy environments.

Warning Safety Signs

Crucial for workplace and public safety, warning safety signs alert individuals to potential hazards and prevent accidents by clearly communicating the danger and risks that come with that danger. Employers must provide warning safety signs if there is a significant risk that can't be avoided or controlled in any other way. The supplementary text within a warning safety sign must lead with "Danger, Warning or Caution". Danger: Used for hazards which may cause serious injury or death. Warning: Used for hazards which could cause moderate to severe injury. Caution: Used for mild hazards.
