SAFETY SIGNAGE
Proper signage is a duty of care and compliance
Everyone should expect to go home safely at the end of their working day. So, when workplaces contain hazards – from the use of chemicals to heavy moving vehicles or sharp instruments – it’s up to employers to take every risk seriously.
Compliance with safety regulations isn’t just about avoiding fines or legal repercussions; it’s about fostering a culture of responsibility and well-being. When safety signage is treated with the importance it deserves, it becomes a cornerstone of a company’s commitment to its employees and stakeholders.
In summary, safety signage goes beyond being a regulatory requirement; it’s a symbolic representation of a company’s dedication to creating a safe, secure, and conscientious workplace. By implementing proper safety signage, employers uphold their duty of care, protect their workforce, and contribute to a culture of safety that benefits everyone.

Commercial makes it simple to install the correct signage
Safety signage is a legal requirement not just for the most high-risk locations, but also informing employees and visitors of health and safety laws that apply, where to find first aid kits, fire extinguishers and emergency exits.
But beware, too many signs can be confusing. It’s all about the right sign, clearly communicating a hazard or action. Commercial’s team steers clients through the potential challenges.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS
Innovations in signage are bringing added efficiencies and protection
Technology is being applied in surprising ways to create safer working environments.
Interactive traffic markings
The movement of pedestrians and vehicles safely around a site is often a focal point for health and safety assessments. Starling Technologies has created an interactive pedestrian crossing, which responds to the movement of vehicles and pedestrians, to signal who should take priority in any given moment.
Gone are the painted road markings. In their place, the entire road surface at the crossing area is monitored by cameras and embedded with computer-controlled LEDs that can be seen from all angles, day and night.
In-house signage creation
What’s faster than next day delivery? Signage and safety labels that you can print yourself.
Table-top printing devices that print up to 14 colours and design shapes, give you full control to create instant signage.
Ideal, when you need to respond with urgency – whether that’s to alert others to a hazardous spill or breakage, change in legislation, or perhaps for a manufacturer’s product recall.
