Why You Ought to Have the Right Health and Safety Signs for Your Business.To ensure you have a safe and hazard free work environment, it is important (and a legal requirement) to make sure all potential hazards are clearly marked. By doing this you will greatly reduce the chance of a workplace accident and injury. It recommended that you have health and safety signs placed around any and all dangerous areas that house potential hazards for staff and visitors.
This will help reduce or prevent accidents and also potentially being sued for negligence caused by injured work colleagues or employees because you are adhering to the health and safety laws. You must also have all your potential hazards in your work environment identified and risk assessed by the UK’s Health and Safety Executive. Representatives of this body will visit your premises if it is in a hazardous industry to conduct their assessment of the marked areas with signage. A good example of this would be if you had a low ceiling within your workplace that has been clearly identified. You could place a warning sign that will clearly mark out the potential hazard with a health and safety sign to help warn and highlight the hazard to your employees, thus doing your bit to prevent any accidents. You can also use signs to give directions or instructions and warn of any potential obstacles within a particular area and these specific signs are used frequently within the construction industry on construction sites, for example.
