Product Information

Employers have a responsibility to provide employees with safe, clean working environments, and to use appropriate signage to warn employees of any potential health and safety hazards or concerns. Employers who fail to provide a safe workplace, or adequately warn of health risks, can be held liable for accidents that occur in the workplace. You can also choose from a range of different kinds of finishes and treatments to ensure the longevity of your signage. These include:

Every successful safety program utilizes visual communication to identify hazards, restrictions, and other conditions present in a facility. Hot surface signs communicate the conditions of surfaces and instruct workers and visitors to act accordingly around high-temperature surfaces. These signs caution employees working near hot surfaces and prevent hand injuries. All signage produced by 3 Signs complies with the latest EU and UK legislation, including BS EN ISO7010. That means the colours and symbols displayed on the safety signs are easy to recognise by most people without the need of fully reading the sign. Alternative symbols exist and as the engineer responsible for your products’ safety labeling, you are able to choose which symbols you would prefer. You could choose to add a “do not touch” symbol to a label that already contains the ISO “hot surface” symbol, (see Figure 3) thereby communicating both the nature of the hazard and how to avoid it with two distinct pictorial representations. Another alternative is to use a symbol that combines both messages into a single graphic image. The example in Figure 4 is one that Clarion developed to convey the message, “hot surface – do not touch.” This symbol uses a hand in profile to display both human interaction with the hazard and add a measure of realism, dramatization, and understandability to the graphic. The use of the ISO red prohibition circle-with-slash surround shape communicates the “do not” portion of the message in the same way similar signs used for “no smoking,” “no left turn,” and “no pedestrian crossing” are meant to prohibit certain actions.
