Signs for Drinking Water: Buying Guide


It is easy to assume that tap water is drinkable, but there are many instances when it might not be. This is particularly true in workplace and industrial environments where, for example, the water might only be suitable for washing hands, flushing chemical spills off skin or rinsing foreign bodies out of eyes.

Make sure that your employees and any visitors to your workplace know whether the water is drinkable or can be used for food preparation by clearly labelling the taps with drinking water signs.

Different Waters For Different Purposes


Most industries use water in some form or another for research, treatment, and manufacturing or production processes. This includes anything from deionised water for electronics and pharmaceutics to softened water for boiler feeds.

As stated, many sectors designate different water sources for diverse reasons. Just think of eye-wash stations, chemical spill kits, or distilled water in the automotive industry.

It’s therefore essential to clearly indicate which water is potable or not. Seton’s health and safety experts sourced a wide selection of drinking water signs to suit your specific environment.

Our drinking water signs are available in a number of different sizes and materials and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Choose from signs that can be fixed to walls, or banner signs and temporary signs, which are ideal for workplaces such as construction sites or for outdoor events. Don't forget some signs or locations may require additional sign fixings to secure your new signage in place.

Whichever sign you choose, all feature clear writing together with the easily recognisable tap pictogram. A simple indication, such as Seton’s temporary water point sign for a construction site, helps improve workplace safety. It:

  • Informs employees, sub-contractors, visitors, and the larger public of your safety initiatives and where to get safe drinking water

  • Comes in different sizes and materials to suit your needs and outdoor conditions

  • Can be mounted on walls, fences and stanchion sign holders

We also stock multi-message temporary signs that show people where to find both drinking and hot water facilities. They’re made from hard wearing material that can stand up to harsh conditions such as outdoor construction sites.

Keep Seton’s metal sign stanchions in mind for all your temporary not drinking water or water drinking signs. With these, you can effortlessly display your signage at building and road works or around your premises.

Workplace Risk Assessments


The HSE stipulates that employers must provide safety signs when risks can’t be avoided or controlled. This also applies to drinking water signs.

When carrying out a risk assessment, it is worth considering all of the risks associated with tap water. Using drinking water signs to clearly label taps that are suitable for drinking from will help to keep everyone on your premises informed of where it is safe to obtain drinking water from.

Likewise, “Do not drink” signs will clearly inform everyone that tap water is not safe to drink and should only be used for washing hands or rinsing eyes and skin.

Every work environment is unique with its own risks and requirements. Your custom risk assessment provides the framework for your safety sign needs.
