Importance of Information Signs


The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) places an onus on employers to provide safety and information signs in the workplace. These signs are especially important in environments that pose a risk to the safety of employees. Safety and information signs serve to inform and warn of potential dangers.

Building sites are among the most dangerous working environments, so you may wish to opt for our building site danger signs to provide warnings and notices. These construction signs are a legal requirement and can be mounted on a variety of surfaces in seconds. We also have other multi-message signs, such as Warning Fragile Roof/Strictly No Access, Demolition in Process, Warning This Site is Dangerous, and Warning Construction Site/No Trespassing.

COVID-19 instilled and renewed a general awareness about the importance of hygiene practices such as regular hand washing. Businesses faced numerous challenges to safeguard workplaces, manage the spread of the virus, and comply with the restrictions and guidelines set by the government. Information signs proved to be essential to visually communicate these restrictions and guidelines in the interest of health and safety.

Information Signs Helping to Curb the Spread of COVID-19

Experts state that proper signage helps to curb the spread of the virus and goes a long way towards keeping places of work virus-free. The World Health Organisation (WHO) advised that public places, such as restaurants, office areas and parks put up information signs to encourage social distancing and frequent hand washing. Other helpful COVID-19 signs include the following:

  • Directional arrow signs indicate in which directions people should enter, walk and exit. These signs help to establish social distances and adequately stagger and control foot traffic.

  • Hand sanitiser signs indicate where hand sanitising stations are when entering the premises and also serve as a reminder to practise good hygiene.

  • Social distancing signs attached to floors remind people to keep apart and also show them where to stand to maintain acceptable distances.

  • Applicable door signs, such as no entry signs, can warn people of high-risk or contaminated areas.

  • Outdoor signs for construction sites relay and remind workers of coronavirus restrictions.


The Variety of Information Signs Available

Some of our information signs provide details rather than warnings about dangers, risks, and hazards. For example, we have a variety of text signs to advise staff and visitors about activities such as warehouse collections and the location of receptions, the supervisor’s office, and quality inspection areas.

Choose a selection of information signs from a range that promotes recycling, energy saving and other actions that benefit the environment. These signs feature the traditional three chasing arrows of the universal recycling symbol and text such as Turn Off The Lights, Turn Off Electrical Appliances, and Turn Down Heating Evenings, Weekends & Holidays.

All school buses are legally required to have a sign at the front and back of the vehicle, so make sure that you are compliant with the regulations by displaying our highly visible, bright yellow sign.

Information Signs to Prevent Slips and Falls

Cleaning in progress signs are often taken for granted and ignored. Some believe that people disregard these signs because they were exposed to them since early childhood in grocers and other stores. Something such as a wet-floor caution sign is therefore an everyday occurrence that does not stand out.

Businesses can, however, not afford to dispense with cleaning signs. Studies indicate that wet floors are one of the main causes of slips and falls and a liability. The slightest injury can lead to legal battles amounting to thousands of pounds. Some estimate that businesses pay out more than £500m a year in legal costs due to slips-and-falls lawsuits. The HSE emphasises that cleaning-in-progress signs should always be used.

These signs can also be used within bathrooms, where slip hazards are always prominent. There are also environmentally friendly signs for toilet and washroom use. These signs designate girls, boys, ladies, gentlemen and disabled toilets using a variety of symbols, and are available in a range of sizes and finishes.

Door Signs for Office: Promoting Professionalism and Providing Information

A company’s professional image instills confidence in visitors and customers. One way to further your workplace’s professional appearance is by affixing door signs. These signs effectively inform visitors, employees and customers of where to go and who to see.

Information signs are essential to the image, safety and communication efficacy of all companies across all industries. All of these signs comply with fire retardant standards for stringent health and safety in both living and work spaces.
