Every workplace has its hazards, whether it’s electrics, vehicles operating, flammable substances, chemicals, construction site risks or simple trips and slips. Having the right warning signs in place helps ensure the protection of your staff and the public, whilst allowing you to comply with health and safety regulations. Warning safety signs are a type of hazard sign and must be installed and maintained where necessary. Ensuring any risks are clearly signposted will reduce the risk of accidents as staff and the public can be made aware of potential threats to their safety. Employers have a legal duty of care to display sufficient warning symbols and minimise the risk of injuries. If you fail to display the appropriate workplace warning signs, you could face legal action. Read more about warning signs & symbols.
