Product Information

All of our safety signs comply with the safety colour regulations. This ensures that certain colours adhere to their specific meanings. The Health and Safety Regulations (Safety Signs and Signals) 1996 Act implements European Council Directive 92/58/EEC. This provides guidance on the requirements regarding safety signage in the workplace. This Act provides all the information needed to ensure that your company signage complies with the law. Should the worst happen, one of our fully compliant and comprehensive burns kits will help provide the injured party with the effective and immediate treatment required. These kits, which should be stored close to the areas containing temperature hazards, will be sufficient to treat burns or scalding and ease the pain for the sufferer. Dependent on the severity of the injury, a trip to hospital may also be necessary.

EN ISO 7010 – introduced in 2003 and revised in 2012 (and in 2019, with 6 published amendments.) This is a globally recognised set of safety pictures and diagrams used for safety messaging.Compliant safety signs often include (but are not limited to) emergency exit signage, fire safety signs, safety equipment to be worn here etc. If you’re not sure if your signage complies, a general rule of thumb is as follows: no changes needed on existing fire safety signs containing symbols comply with BS 5499. New signs are also acceptable if they comply with BS 5499. Safety signs are there to ensure your personal safety and that of others. It is imperative that safety signage is used alongside other methods of reducing risk to employees such as safe working practices, properly maintained machinery, adequate training etc. Temperature warning signs can be particularly important as there is often no visible risk before to warn people before it is too late. A hot surface or unexpectedly hot water can scald before people even realise there is a temperature risk. Where to fix Caution Very Hot Water signs

This information applies to safety signs in the workplace, or place where a work activity is being conducted. Signage requirements apply to all workplaces and places where work activity is conducted, but exclude signs used in connection with transport or the supply and marketing of dangerous substances, products and equipment. Our wide selection of temperature warning signs is designed to alert and inform people of the presence of hazards in the area around them. Sold in a variety of sizes, materials and orientations, displaying such signage in and around your premises ensures that you comply with current health and safety regulations – as well as helping to reduce the chance of any of your employees or visitors having a temperature-related accident. If staff could be exposed to high levels of heat they must be warned of the associated risks. This is where temperature warning signs and training material come into their own. The primary benefit of Caution Very Hot Water Signs is their ability to grab attention and convey a clear message. The bright yellow colour and large bold lettering ensure high visibility making it easy for individuals to notice the sign and recognise the potential hot water hazard. By prominently displaying these signs near hot water sources such as taps, showers or industrial equipment you effectively alert people to the presence of hot water and encourage them to proceed with caution.

The Regulations require employers to use a safety sign where there is a significant risk to health and safety that has not been avoided or controlled by the methods required under other relevant law, provided use of a sign can help reduce the risk. Safety signs are not a substitute for those other methods of controlling risks such as engineering controls and safe systems of work. There are some tasks within the workplace that expose employees to high levels of heat. These extreme temperatures are dangerous and pose several potential threats to a person’s safety; they could even result in death. It is crucial, therefore, to protect all employees whose job involves them directly accessing hot items or dealing with high levels of humidity, radiant heat sources or other temperature-related situations. They apply to all workplaces and to all activities where people are employed, but exclude signs used in connection with transport or the supply and marketing of dangerous substances, products and equipment. OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration committee) have put into place several guidelines to identify these hazards and safeguard staff. Business owners are urged to adhere to these guidelines. This is now the common EU law and offers a clear message – no matter the language you speak! The idea is to have commonly recognisable symbols and signage for danger – to ensure health and safety in any workplace.
