What Safety Signs does our block need?
For any Residents Management Company (RMC) that employs staff, for example cleaners etc the installation of safety signs is part of their legal responsibility to ensure their employees’ and the general public’s
health, safety and welfare at work. The health and safety law states that
an employer must make the workplace safe and without risks. Safety signs are required to alert people to the hazards
around them and to show safe working procedures. There are a number of styles of safety
signs. The use of a certain type depends on the message that the sign carries.
Green Signs can either tell people the location of certain safety equipment, like first aid equipment, where fire exits are located.
Red Signs

are used solely to show the location of fire extinguishers and other fire safety equipment.
Yellow Triangles
Red Circles

are used to make people aware of something that is dangerous, for example asbestos.
Blue mandatory
signs are required for doors that need to be kept shut for fire safety reasons, for example, fire doors.
Many places of work now require health and safety signs by law.
