Hazard safety signs
Hazard safety signs must be used whenever a risk or danger can not be avoided adequately or reduced in another way. If there are hazardous areas or materials on your premises it’s essential that the potential risks are highlighted to staff, visitors and the general public. This can be done through the use of hazard signs and these are widely understood helping businesses or organisations comply with current regulations, creating a safer working environment.
At Anchor Safety we supply hazard signs in a range of materials & sizes to highlight all types of hazards. We can offer guidance on the type, size and material to best suit all locations and budgets. A business logo or brand can be incorporated if required. All pictograms will adhere to ISO 7010:2019 (technical standard for graphical hazard symbols on hazard and safety signs) and artwork will be provided for approval before proceeding with manufacture.
