Under the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996, employers must provide a safety sign where there is a significant risk that can't be avoided or controlled another way, such as through safe systems of work. For temporary hazards like a freshly mopped floor, our safety signs and multilingual caution cones help you warn people clearly.
The main types are fixed barriers, mobile barriers and temporary markers such as cones. Each has slightly different uses depending on the type of hazard. For short-term hazards, our 13 ft mobile barrier in yellow can be repositioned as the job changes. Safety cones suit smaller areas, and our pop-up floor cones are quick to put out and easy to store. Browse our full barriers range.
The best options for warehouses are highly visible, easy to move and quick to put out, because hazards change across a shift. A mobile barrier, caution cones and wet floor signs cover most day-to-day needs at loading bays, aisles and walkways. To close off larger areas the 13 ft mobile barrier extends to 4 metres and is highly visible across a busy warehouse shop floor. For smaller, temporary hazards caution floor signs or cones do the job. Warehouses may also need permanent signs for fixed risks such as prohibitions and mandatory requirements.
A spill pad lets you deal with a spill quickly, so the area is made safe sooner and fewer people are put at risk of a slip. It also keeps the clean-up contained and simple for staff to carry out. Our Over The Spill Pads, tablets and kit give you options for different sites. Keep a kit near high-risk areas and pair it with a caution sign to warn others while you clean up.
