The Safety Signs Regulation Act 1996 requires employers to display an appropriate safety sign and instruction wherever a significant harm or risk cannot be avoided or reduced by any other means. These bring into force a European directive whose purpose is to encourage the standardisation of safety signs throughout Europe so that Safety signs, wherever they are seen have the same meaning.
Prohibitation Signs- used to prohibit actions to prevent personal injury and the risk of fire. Mandatory Signs-used to convey action that must be taken, e.g. procedures in the case of fire. Warning Signs- used to warn personnel of possible dangers in the workplace. Safe Contdition signs-used to show directions to areas of safety and medical assisstance and where a safe area is.
