“The HSE (Health and Safety Executive)


estimated that approximately 2,000 accidents involving forklifts were reported in Great Britain in 2018/19, so clear, instantly recognisable safety messaging is more important than ever for facilities using forklifts!” says Ian Spoors, Managing Director of Projected Image. “While traditional painted or vinyl markings wear and typically require maintenance twice a year, projected signage provides a bright, highly visible image that doesn’t fade or wear under  lifespan.” By projecting sharp, vivid safety signs, such as

PROJECTED SAFETY SIGNAGE ‘SAFER, MORE DURABLE OPTION’ FOR FORKLIFTS IN BUSY FACILITIES


By Ian Spoors, Managing Director, Projected Image


Projected safety signage is helping warehouses and industrial facilities improve forklift safety by reducing ‘sign blindness’ and providing a more durable alternative to traditional safety signs


projected signage is more visually stimulating  harder to ignore” adds Ian. Projected signs can also be automated using sensors, so they only activate when a forklift
