Signs
Introduction
Safety signs of some description have been a legal requirement under various laws and regulations for many years.
In the workplace, places of assembly, public buildings and licensed premises signs have been considered necessary to warn occupants of hazards, to prevent dangerous practices and to indicate safe exit routes and actions.
Signs have also been used to warn emergency services of hazards from dangerous substances in transit and storage.
The categories are:
- Prohibitory
- Warning
- Mandatory
- Safe Condition Signs
(Emergency Escape and First Aid)
- Firefighting
- Supplementary Information
