Mandatory Signs
Mandatory signs are essential for communicating “must done” actions to maintain health and safety in the workplace. These signs ensure that your company meets the legal requirements while keeping employees and visitors safe from avoidable hazards.
Our range of safety signs ensures that safety protocols and workplace rules are clearly communicated and adhered to. We design each sign to prompt specific actions that are vital for maintaining safety and compliance in various environments.
What Are These Signs Used For?
You’ll find mandatory signs in environments where specific behaviours are required. These include wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), following hygiene protocols, or using designated access routes. Displaying these signs helps reinforce safe working practices and prevent accidents before they occur.
Our safety signs include instructions for wearing safety gear, hygiene protocols, and operational directives.
Examples of Common Mandatory Signs
Typical examples include Wear Hard Hat, Hearing Protection Must Be Worn, Keep This Door Closed, and Wash Hands Before Returning to Work. In industries such as construction, manufacturing, healthcare, and food service, mandatory signs are a crucial part of daily operations.
Design and Compliance
All our signs conform to BS EN ISO 7010 standards. They feature a blue circular background with a white pictogram, ensuring they are understood quickly and clearly. Choose from self-adhesive vinyl, rigid plastic (PVC), foamex, correx or aluminium composite materials depending on your environment. We also offer glow-in-the-dark options for use in poorly lit areas.
UK Legislation Overview
Under the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996, employers must provide appropriate signage wherever there is a residual risk. Mandatory signs fulfil this legal obligation by instructing workers on required safety actions. Employers are also responsible for clearly displaying and maintaining the safety signage.
