Are Safety Signs & Warning Signs Really Needed?

17th November 2015

Safety Signs have become essential for virtually every workplace, with employers having to tow the government line when it comes to “health and safety”.

Let’s face it, nobody wants to be caught short if an employee had an accident that would have been easily prevented with handily-placed Warning Signs, with individual claims a common occurrence and so it’s important to have all bases covered.

That’s exactly what we have at HFE when it comes to Safety Signs, with our library of display items allowing businesses to choose from a wide range of products to make sure their workplace is kitted out with Safety and Warning Signs that befit the levels of risk or danger involved.

A Danger Sign will not only hopefully avoid someone getting hurt but it also provides back-up should an accident happen, with employers hardly to blame if they have put measures in place to ensure that everyone is aware when there are dangers in the workplace

At HFE, we have a wonderful array of Site Safety Signs, which are predominantly available for the building and construction industry. The Health and Safety at Work Act dictates that "it shall be the duty of every employer to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of all his/her employees".

Therefore, we have Safety Signs which indicate things such as construction work being in progress, safety helmets being needed on the site and high-visibility jackets required to be worn at all times on the site.

In addition, you might need a sign to direct people to the site office or a Warning Sign to indicate exactly when you are approaching a site entrance. Our Multi-Site Safety Sign ticks all the boxes, with prices starting from £1.81 and you can choose from a range of materials to determine the right fit for your area of work.

Emergency Exit signs are another important aspect of compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act. Fire drills are now commonplace and vitally important at the workplace and also in schools, with signs such as “push bar to open”, “fire exit only” and “assembly point” required by law.

Fire Action Notice signs start from as little as £3.77 and they are hard-wearing whether you choose to display them in an indoor or outdoor environment. Once you have made the investment, they will stand the test of time and we take pride in our signage being of the highest possible quality.

We’ve already created a wide range of Safety Signs and have several satisfied customers, with our Fire Action signs already carrying the correct wording that issue detailed and precise instructions should a fire break out in the workplace.

Danger signs aren’t just confined to construction sites and offices, with a special section of the site devoted to Countryside & Agriculture Signs, where those working in the farming industry can order signage to alert those in the vicinity to a possible danger or hazard.

The Safety Signs at HFE will make sure you don’t miss a trick when it comes to making sure everyone reads the Warning Signs before it’s too late.
