All employers are required to supply health and safety signs whenever there is a risk which is not controlled by other means.
Where safety signs are being used businesses are required to maintain them. All employees must understand their meaning and know what to do when they see them.
The symbols used to depict the safety sign meaning are regulated by the EC Safety Signs Directive (92/58/EEC) to encourage standardisation throughout the European Union so that they have the same meaning.
