PPE Safety Labels by Caledonia Signs - Trade Only Supplier
PPE safety labels are essential tools used in workplaces to communicate important information about Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). These labels help identify which types of PPE are required in specific areas, such as helmets, gloves, goggles, or masks. By clearly indicating PPE requirements, these labels ensure that employees and visitors are aware of necessary protective measures, helping to reduce the risk of injury and promote a culture of safety.
One key benefit of PPE safety labels is their ability to provide clear, easy-to-understand instructions. Using universally recognised symbols and concise text, these labels quickly convey what protective gear must be worn, even to those who may have language barriers or limited training. This clarity helps increase compliance and ensures that safety protocols are consistently followed across all shifts and departments.
PPE safety labels also contribute to regulatory compliance. Occupational health and safety regulations often require employers to post signage indicating PPE requirements to protect workers from hazards. By displaying proper labels, companies can meet legal obligations, avoid fines, and demonstrate a commitment to maintaining a safe workplace.
Finally, PPE safety labels help foster a proactive safety culture by reminding everyone on site to prioritize personal protection. When these labels are strategically placed at entry points, near hazardous machinery, or in storage areas, they serve as constant visual cues that reinforce safe behaviours and reduce workplace accidents.

Why get safety signs printed by Caledonia Signs?
1. Regulatory Compliance One of the primary reasons to have safety signs professionally printed is to ensure compliance with UK laws. The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 require that specific safety signs be used in workplaces to prevent accidents and injuries. Caledonia Signs understand these requirements and ensure your signs meet legal standards, including adherence to the BS EN ISO 7010 format for safety symbols. Adhering to the BS EN ISO 7010 format is crucial because it ensures safety signs are universally recognised and understood. The standard uses clearly defined symbols that have been tested for visibility and comprehension, making them effective even in high-stress situations or for individuals who do not speak the local language. This helps prevent accidents by enabling quick and correct responses to potential hazards. Many "pop up printers" don't fully understand the importance of ISO 7010. From a legal standpoint, compliance with ISO 7...>>> READ MORE >>>
