Safety Signs

As an appointed safety sign distributor for some of Europe's largest safety sign manufacturers, we have access to thousands of standard and bespoke safety signs and labels, plus associated ancillary products.


In the UK there are 5 main types of safety signs in everday use, each sign type having a specific safety colour associated with particular types of safety messages and a specific graphic shape. The recent adoption of  ISO 7010 has seen some major changes in sign design, the main aim of  ISO 7010 being to specify a range of symbols/pictograms that are easily recognised and understood across the entire European Union, regardless of language or any accompanying text.

Examples of the 5 main types of safety signs are given below along with brief descriptions of their main areas of use.

  • Mandatory Signs - comprise a white symbol within a solid blue circle. These signs are used to indicate a specific course of action that must be taken i.e. You must ... 
             
  • Hazard Signs - comprise a black symbol within a black bordered yellew triangle. These signs are used to warn of a hazard, to make you aware of danger, to be careful.
 
          

  • Safe Condition Signs - comprise a square or rectangular shape sign with a main safety colour of green, with a contrasting white symbol or text. These signs are used to indicate the way to safety, where to go in an emergency, the way to medical assistance.
