Safety Signs

Staying organised is a key part of staying safe in an emergency or during everyday operations. Signing all your exits, emergency equipment, site navigation and smoking areas will keep everything running smoothly.    

Here at Buildingmaterials.co.uk, we have a range of signs ideal for all sorts of hazards and emergency procedures, making sure all employees and visitors are kept informed.

Fire safety is one of the most important considerations for any workplace, and we’ve got a range of signs that can help. In case of emergency, it’s always important to keep exits well signed. Our fire exit signs include arrowed signs, refuge points and emergency escape routes. Fire extinguishers are essential bits of safety equipment, and correct labelling is important for making sure instructions are visible in case of emergency.

Fire doors are one of the most important parts to sign well, and Buildingmaterials.co.uk stock a range of steel, aluminium and xtra-glo signs that keep all exits well signed. Photoluminescent signs are another option, which are made from materials which self charge to glow in the dark, meaning signs will always be visible even in the event of a power cut. These are especially useful for fire alarms, exits and door signs.

For a hazardous workplace, you need to make sure everyone’s safe and hazard signs are essential to make sure all the risks are known. These signs mean the information is always there for everyone to access. Prohibition signs can make sure everyone’s aware of what’s allowed and where. If you need to restrict access to machinery, vehicles or entry points, then these signs are essential. Mandatory safety signs give information about protective equipment that must be used, from goggles to seat belts, as well as restricting access and giving instructions.

Multi-message safety signs can get all the important hazards, risks and regulations across in limited space. These are good at combining messages if there are a lot of things to think about. Multilingual signs are available in Polish-English and Welsh-English and can make sure all employees know the risks and regulations in particular areas. The combination of two languages and easy to read symbols make important safety communication as easy as possible. 

First aid during an emergency is an essential part of precautions, as well as being essential to the everyday running of a workplace. First aid signs can let everyone know who’s responsible for first aid, as well as making everyone aware of where supplies are kept.

Double sided hanging signs can save space in corridors keeping exits visible whichever way you’re walking. Our selection of signs include fire exits, fire assembly points and warning signs, as well as all the hanging accessories to made fixing them easy. 3D projecting signs can be seen from several directions at once, ensuring the best chances that the sign will be read and understood. They can be used internally or externally, for a range of purposes such as fire extinguisher points, alarms, exits and first aid.

 Our post mounted signs include aluminium, steel and temporary posts, ideal for permanent as well as moveable warning signs useful during maintenance. From mind the step to no parking, Buildingmaterials.co.uk has a whole range ideal for a variety of uses.  For an easy and moveable signpost, stanchion signs are another option that can be put up and down whenever you need to warn of a specific hazard, restrict access or otherwise give an instruction. We stock both the signs and the frames so you can get everything you need in one place. 

Site navigation signs make sure that all the important parts of the working environment are easily accessible. We also stock site navigation and site safety packs that have a variety of signs included, making signing your whole site as easy as possible. Scaffolding can be hazardous for both those working on it and those passing underneath. For keeping a work site safe scaffolding safety signs are essential and mean that keeping the right personnel in the right place is much easier.

Keeping smoking areas signed off and clearly visible is an important part of health and safety, not only for keeping flammable substances away from smokers but also for employee wellbeing. This is easy with our range of smoking signs, which can also direct smokers to dispose of their cigarette ends safely. Water safety signs are necessary wherever there’s a risk of falling into deep water, where guide rails are not always to be relied upon. We stock both rigid and self adhesive signs so whatever the environment there will be a sign that works.

Keeping the workplace environmentally friendly is big news, and with our large range of recycling signs this is made easy as possible. From standard plastic and glass to hazardous and organic waste, you can keep all your recycling organised and streamlined.

Whatever hazards and emergency procedures your workplace needs to have precautions against, signs are going to be essential to keeping everyone on site aware and informed.
