Signs of the times
June 1st 2010 Workplace equipment provider
Slingsby believes many businesses
are risking prosecution
by not having sufficient
safety signs in place
despite them being one
of the cheapest and
easiest ways of
preventing workplace accidents.
Lee Wright, marketing director of
Slingsby, says: "Safety signs are cheap,
quick and easy to introduce and are
one of the simplest and most
effective ways of warning employees
of potential hazards or risks. However
we regularly visit organisations
where employees could injure
themselves because the correct signs
are not in place.
"Generally signs that contain just
text are not permitted. Instead they
must also include a pictogram and
be a specific shape and colour
depending on the sign's meaning." More articles from H C Slingsby PLC: |
