WORKPLACE SAFETY
AUTOMATED PROJECTED SIGNAGE HELPS TRANSFORM WORKPLACE SAFETY
A
growing number of businesses are exploring automated projected safety signage as a more effective way to highlight hazards, reduce accidents and improve workplace safety. That is according to Projected
Image, leading UK suppliers of LED gobo projectors and experts in providing projected safety signage for businesses in sectors ranging from warehousing and logistics to automotive and food and beverage. The specialists say that by combining powerful LED gobo projectors with motion or light sensors, projected signage is proving extremely beneficial in improving safety for many workplaces. “Traditional painted and printed safety signs can easily be ignored or missed, especially in busy environments where they become faded or viewed so often that workers become subconsciously ‘blind’ to them. However, by automating signage – and using projections which are bright, clear and difficult to ignore – workplaces are not only transforming their workplace safety, but making their facilities more efficient too,” says Ian Spoors,
managing director of Projected Image. According to Projected Image, projected signs are especially impactful in areas where traditional floor or wall signage is likely to become worn, obscured or ignored. Projected signage remains clear even in low light, on wet surfaces or where layouts frequently change.
In sectors like logistics, manufacturing, food production and cold storage – which typically operate within busy warehouses or facilities – automated projected signage is more likely to be adhered to as it is only visible when it is needed most. “Automated projected signage consists of a gobo projector shining a bright safety message only when triggered by a sensor, such as when an approaching forklift or pedestrian is detected. By only projecting safety messages when needed, automated projected signage systems improve sign visibility, reduce sign blindness and help teams respond to potential risks in real time, creating a safer workplace!,” adds Spoors. Projected Image has implemented projected signage for a wide range of businesses across the country, including leading names like Coca-Cola, Mercedes-Benz and Dunbia.

As projected signage becomes increasingly popular, more and more businesses are pairing it with automation too.
“We recently delivered an automated system for a leading manufacturer of renewable energy. The system warns pedestrians of forklifts when approaching roller doors, which has significantly improved their health and safety measures. Signs are brighter and clearer, less likely to be ignored and are helping to reduce the risk of accidents,” says Spoors. Projected Image is the only business in the UK who supply both powerful, IP-rated LED projectors and the bespoke gobos which go in them. Their durable LED projectors offer up to 50,000 hours of lamp life, providing maintenance-free safety messaging.
“Automated projected signage isn’t just a visual upgrade for businesses – it’s a smarter, more responsive way to communicate safety messages. By combining bright, clear signs with automation, businesses can manage workplace risks in a way that traditional signage simply can’t,” concludes Spoors.
