Stocksigns helps puts over message about site safety
Personal Protective Equipment might have taken on new meaning in recent days, but even in virus-free times, PPE is a vital part of working on a construction site, quarry, or in a potentially hazardous area. In this article, signs manufacturer and installer Stocksigns outlines the importance of PPE signage in protecting workers.
It goes without saying that preventing dangerous issues is a priority, but if there is even a slight risk of injury or damage to health on a site, workers must be informed about it.
PPE signage can be crucial to ensuring that workers are protected from falling objects, slips and hazardous chemicals. Signage can simply remind the necessary people to consider PPE if there is any risk to their health onsite. Not only can lack of protection equipment increase risk dramatically and potentially cause injury, but it can also create a lot of legal issues for the business owner/responsible person.
Even in Spring, there is still a risk of cold weather, which can increase risks. Take the opportunity to review your health and safety and minimise risk and potential stress later in the year. It’s very important to provide as safe a working environment for employees as you can, meaning safety signage is essential. Below are some examples of Stocksigns’ wide range of PPE signage:
- Site Safety Boards. These are a great way to contain all of your PPE rules/instructions in one place, making it more convenient for site users and easier to enforce safety. Site Safety Boards can include warning, hazard, prohibition and PPE signs.
- Regulations Signs. This can be a great reminder to both site users and the public of the legal ramifications of not using the correct PPE and taking the necessary steps to stay safe onsite.
- Photoluminescent Signs. Sometimes, conditions or lighting onsite can be poor, meaning you will need a sign with its own light source. Photoluminescent material will charge in ambient light, and glow whenever visibility is poor. This keeps the sign visible at all times to maximise safety.
- Prohibition PPE Signs. These can help to stop anyone entering site who is not wearing the correct PPE. Additionally, they can act as a reminder for site users to check their equipment.
Stocksigns offers a wide range of PPE signs to help you protect yourself, and others onsite.
