Custom Health & Safety Signage
Custom Health & Safety signage refers to signs that are designed specifically for your workplace to communicate important safety messages.
Why Is It Important?
Health & Safety signage isn’t just about ticking boxes—it’s about protecting people. Clear, visible signs help prevent accidents, guide emergency responses, and ensure everyone knows what to do in risky situations. Custom signage makes this even more effective by addressing the exact risks and layout of your site.
For example, a generic “Danger” sign might not be enough. A custom sign could say “Danger: High Voltage – Authorised Personnel Only” and include your company’s branding, making it more relevant and professional.
How Is It Made?
Creating custom printed Health & Safety signage is a straightforward process, and we offer full support from design to delivery:
- Design Consultation: You start by discussing your needs—what hazards exist, what messages you want to convey, and where the signs will be placed.
- Material Selection: Signs can be printed on various materials depending on where they’ll be used:
- ACM (Aluminium Composite Material): Durable and weather-resistant, ideal for outdoor use.
- Foamboard : Lightweight and cost-effective, suitable for indoor or outdoor provided it can be fixed to a solid backing.
- Self-adhesive vinyl: Perfect for windows, doors, or equipment.
- Plastic or acrylic: Good for indoor signs that need a clean, professional look.
- Printing & Finishing: High-resolution digital printing ensures your signs are clear and vibrant. Our signs are Laminated for extra durability.
