Prohibition and Warning - Braille Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs - Trade Only Supplier
Less than 1% of the 2 million visually impaired people in the UK are users of braille. Many people lose their sight as they age and for those people, reading raised letters on a sign is much easier than learning braille.
Using both tactile and braille is key to help visually impaired people to read and understand important sign messages. Prohibition signs advise viewers of actions which should not be carried out within specific areas and warning signs advise viewers of potential hazards within an area. Both prohibition and warning signs can stop viewers from entering areas which are hazardous to health, therefore ensuring that both prohibition and warning Safety signs are braille & tactile, can help ensure those with sight loss do not enter an area which could be life threatening.
Our engraved / embossed / braille options are designed and manufactured from durable materials and engraved with the highest attention to detail. Our braille and tactile dots / letters are sub surface inserted which means there is no risk of them becoming detached which could cause confusion to the reader.
Our braille signs are an optimal choice for ensuring Safety and efficiency in industrial environments. The durability, clarity, customisation, regulatory compliance, and ease of maintenance make engraved signs an optimal choice for Safety signs within industrial environments. The principal advantage of braille and tactile signs is that the sign is made up of two layers, the end result is an image or text that is permanent and cannot be defaced.
