Whilst social distancing signs are still proving to be one of our most popular ranges at the moment we are not forgetting that our clients still need other signs.

We are still creating and adding new ranges of signs to our website regularly. Most recently we have introduced electric charging vehicle signage following requests from some of our customers.  These are available to buy in dibond aluminium which is an aluminium composite and are suitable for outdoor use.

If there are any other ranges you want to see on our website then please do feel free to contact us either through our website, by email or by phone,

Social distancing and the new normal!

What will the new normal be? How long will social distancing last? Will things ever get back to the way they were?

It's been a crazy few months with most people trying to juggle a million things at once whether it been cooking, cleaning, working, homeschooling, food shopping etc. 

We really didn't expect to create a 'safe distancing' collection on our website advising people to wear face masks, keep 1m+ and 2m apart and for one way systems in shops becoming the norm! Hazard tape was flying out the door too!

We've helped a number of customers with customised safe distancing signs and many have been customised in Welsh to help out our Welsh customers. With our customised signage we will work with you to ensure the signs meets your requirements. 

We've also added some re-useable face masks to our website and are looking to expand on that range now that masks are going to be enforced in shops and are already in Scotland.

We don't know how long this safe distancing will last and whether it will be the new 'normal' but whatever happens we will update our range to help meet the latest advice.

We really want to thank our customers for their continued support and repeat business especially these last few months. We really appreciate it!

We hope that you and your families keep safe and well.

We aim to have bespoke orders out within 48-72hrs of the go-ahead being given. This would depend on the nature of the job, materials etc but generally speaking out turnaround is really quick.

Now wash your hands signs - One of our most popular lines these last few days has been the 'Now wash your hand signs' which may not come as a surprise due to the Coronavirus that's all over the news. 

We offer a variety of 'washing hand signs' which can be found by clicking here.

You would like to think that people don't need reminding to wash their hands after visiting the toilet, before preparing food or once they have sneezed into their hands but turns out they do.

There has been a large call for brushed brass and brush silver effect signs this month!

We offer these signs in a rigid plastic with a brushed brass or brushed silver finish and these are certainly proving to be popular for customers who would prefer the signs blended in with the surroundings or looking for the more prestigious look. 

From fire action notices, fire exit signs, toilet signs, door signs, fire id signs and more we have them covered. If it's not in our stock range then it doesn't mean we can't do it. Just drop us a message with your wording and sizing and we should be able to do them no problem.

No Safety, Know Pain!

No Safety, Know Pain!

No Safety, Know pain! Is one of our favourite sayings!

No Safety, Know Pain!

If you don't have safety measures in place then you will soon feel the pain whether it's physical pain or financial pain.

There really isn't any room for shortcuts when it comes to safety. The number of times I have spoken to health and safety managers who say that their bosses want to cut corners or don't want to spend on health and safety measures is unbelievable.

Sure you don't get a 'rate of return' on safety products but you can ultimately save on hefty fines, injuries, and your business reputation by doing things the right way as well as creating a safe environment for everyone.

We read all too often about companies being fined for injuries to colleagues or even death to colleagues. It's so important to have staff educated so they know what's expected of them - if there is a spill, how to clean it up safely, if someone is injured, how to deal with it etc. Health and safety is everyone's responsibility and working together in a safe environment is paramount!

I can't quite believe that I am typing this blog with the heating on whilst wearing a thick jumper! It's the middle of June!!! Where is all the sunshine we were promised?

There are flood alerts throughout the UK and the forecast for the next few days is no better!

I'm not very good with plants and watering the lawn (I have just put down some grass seeds a few weeks ago) but the rain is kindly doing that for me. The grass has grown really well but it's too wet to cut and the plants are doing ok too. 

With rain comes a number of hazards one of which is slipping. What can you do to help avoid customers, colleagues etc from slipping?

  • Clean up the any water/mess immediately
  • Display warning signs
  • Use moisture absorbent matts at entrance areas 
  • Have hand rails if there are steps or the area is sloped
  • Report unsafe conditions so that areas can be made safe
  • Use adhesive grip tape around troublesome areas
  • Ensure walkways, entrances and general space is free from obstacles 
Doing it right!

 

 

We can of course help you with signage and if there is particular wording you would like just let us know and we can help create a suitable sign for you. 

Stay safe and let's hope the sun makes an appearance soon!

Whenever I go into the town centre I am amazed by the number of these automatic door signs we see. Maybe it's because I am in the safety signs industry that they stand out more! 

We offer then with black writing on white in self- adhesive vinyl and measure 150 x 150mm.

Stating the obvious

Stating the obvious

Stating the obvious

Stating the obvious - A few weeks ago my son was playing a football match against a team who were about 20 mins away. Thankfully with a Sat Nav the journey was straightforward enough to take me to the school that was hosting the match. However, once inside the grounds of the school, I was faced with a sign with 2 choices; to the left was a single road that lead to the theatre/drama studios and to the right was a road to the sports hall. I chose the route to the sports hall. I followed the road round and faced a dead end! I had a 50% chance of choosing the right route and I used logic, I thought maybe a sign taking to the  'sports hall' perhaps would be near the sports field - but no I was wrong!

Why was there no sign directing the cars to the sports fields? I wasn't the only parent who followed the wrong route! This is a site that has multiple football matches weekly with parents entering the site that may have never been there before. They have a 50/50 chance of choosing the right path!

So really in the grand scheme of things this wasn't a big deal, after all it was only a football match - we got there in the end!  But it made me realise that there are many instances where people go to places they have never been before whether it be a park, a business meeting, to collect a parcel, the list is endless but is it obvious where to go? where the entrance is? does the site expect the visitor to sign in? That one sign can make a difference. We offer a number of visitor entrance signs to help make this easier. We could have even produced a sign for the school identifying where the playing fields were!!!!
