Danger Hazard Signs

A danger hazard sign is a type of warning sign that points out dangers that can result in death or serious injury. They are there to help safeguard the people using your site, whether that is staff or visitors. 

As an alarming message, their design is such that they stand out to everyone. Using the colour yellow, along with black writing or pictorial elements, they aim to stop people from even coming close to the dangers that are present. Examples include those signs that warn of electric shock risks and hazardous substances.

Are hazard signs a legal requirement?

Yes, hazard signs are part of your legal obligations in the UK, as mandated by the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996. This is in place to help keep anyone on your site safe by highlighting the extreme dangers present. The signs are designed to be universally understood so that whether it’s a seasoned member of your team or a brand new person in the building, they can be made aware of the risks present.

Hazard warning signs you may want to consider for your premises include those pointing out electrical hazards, toxic substances and trip hazards. Signs should be positioned prominently, giving adequate warning without obstruction.

If you do not comply with the regulations relating to hazard signage, you could face serious legal repercussions, including fines and penalties — not to mention the dangers that your workplace can then present to everyone.
