Electrical Safety signs are common warning signs and are universally recognisable with black text and yellow backgrounds. Electrical safety signs are vital to help indicate any hazards or risks that are associated with electrical equipment or power supply. As they provide significant safety information and instructions about certain risks posed by electricity, they should always be accurately chosen for the level or risk, placed where personnel and visitors are able to see and obey the warnings, and regularly checked to ensure that they have not been removed or obstructed by objects.

Our electrical safety signs are designed to highlight any items of equipment that may cause electric shocks if they are not used correctly. Electrical shocks are one of the most common workplace injuries that take place in the UK. In workplaces such as construction sites, factories, and even offices, working around electricity can be very safe when workers are able to identify and mitigate the hazards through safety signs.
If these hazards are ignored, it can become life threatening. Electricity can be particularly dangerous in workplaces, as it is essentially invisible until it is unintentionally touched. Electricity can also present costly damage to equipment and infrastructure.
Using the electrical warning signs available in this range to make people aware of the risk of electric shocks can effectively protect personnel and reduce the number of electrical accidents such as burns, fires, and even fatalities in the workplace. All of the electrical safety signs that are supplied by the UK Safety Store comply with existing British standards to ensure reliability for our customers.
Along with hazard assessments, purchasing electrical safety signs is not only the right action to take for the safety of others, but it is also required by law under the Health and Safety Legislation (Safety Signs and Regulations of 1996) to warn of hazardous electrical risks. If you are a business owner who would like to learn more about what is required, the Health and Safety Executive provides guidance on the current safety regulations for workplaces in the UK. Employers should always firstly examine whether hazards can be avoided or reduced by precautions before installing safety signs. If they cannot be avoided or reduced in any other way, safety signs are essential.
It is important to understand that electrical safety signs provide a strong alert to specific conditions that pose an immediate danger. Signs at the UK Safety Store are clear and concise which is important for visibility and will enable both employees and visitors to indicate the nature and the level of threat that they should be acutely aware of.
