Health and Safety Signs in Manchester — Stay Compliant, Keep Your People Safe
Health and safety signage is a legal requirement for almost every type of commercial and industrial premises — and getting it wrong can mean fines, insurance complications, or worse, an accident that could have been prevented. Signs Company Manchester supplies, designs, and installs the full range of health and safety signs for businesses across Greater Manchester, from small offices requiring fire exit signs to large industrial sites needing comprehensive multi-hazard signage systems.
UK Regulations for H&S Signage
Health and safety signs in the UK must comply with the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 and the associated BS EN ISO 7010 standard, which specifies mandatory symbols and colours for each sign category. Signs using the correct symbols and colours are recognised by workers regardless of language — critical in Manchester’s diverse workplace environments.
The four main categories are: prohibition signs (red circle/cross — “No Smoking,” “No Entry”), mandatory signs (blue circle — “Wear PPE Here,” “Wash Hands Before Leaving”), warning signs (yellow/black triangle — “Forklift Trucks Operating,” “High Voltage”), and safe condition signs (green rectangle — “Fire Exit,” “First Aid”).
Standard Health and Safety Signs We Supply
We supply all standard health and safety signs in photoluminescent (glow-in-the-dark), rigid PVC, aluminium, and self-adhesive vinyl formats. Standard sizes from A5 to A1. Common signs include: fire exit signs (with and without arrows), fire extinguisher identification signs, fire assembly point signs, first aid signs, eyewash station signs, COSHH storage signs, forklift operating area signs, PPE mandatory signs, speed limit signs, and accident and near-miss reporting signs.
Custom Health and Safety Signs
Not every hazard is covered by a standard sign — particularly in specialist manufacturing, chemical processing, and construction environments. We design custom health and safety signs to any BS EN ISO 7010 specification, adding site-specific information, custom hazard descriptions, or branded headers in your company colours above the standard sign content.
