Diverse Organisations Need Food Machine Signs


The UK food industry is vast, which means that there is a multitude of companies of all types and sizes that need to source food machine signs to remain compliant and meet their duty of care to employees.

According to government statistics, there are around 22,830 small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in food and drink manufacturing alone. They are operating alongside large companies that often have multiple sites demanding food machine signs across complex production lines.

You need to add to this all the other UK workplaces where food is prepared, processed, packaged, unpackaged and sold. These will all use a range of machinery that represents a potential risk for employees, and many will need other forms of kitchen health and safety signs.

This list of organisations that must consider sourcing health and safety signage for food areas also includes hotels, restaurants, education buildings and work canteens. These must also be committed to safety rules for a safe kitchen.

The placement of correct, compliant signage will be a logical outcome of a thorough risk assessment. This would then result in a commercial kitchen health and safety checklist or a list of health and safety requirements for large-scale food production sites.

Even market stalls and street food units need to stay compliant with complex food safety and hygiene laws. This includes being scrupulous in meeting the health and safety legislation that demands food machine signs. For both static or mobile food service units, knowing which signs you need starts by working your way through a food stall risk assessment example. Local authorities also often provide guidelines for food trucks and other small food prep businesses, including any food machinery signs they need for staff or customers.

Informative Kitchen Health And Safety Signs


Keep in mind that not all food machinery signs and other mandated signage for food companies focus on warning staff of immediate risks. We supply a wide range of informational signs that help you to meet your health and safety requirements for the food and drink sector.

This includes food machinery signs such as the proper use of microwaves or deep fat fryers. Perhaps the most obvious example of safety information signage for commercial kitchens and food manufacturers is information on the best use of slicing equipment and oven safety rules. We also stock immediately available examples of information safety signage for such processes as potato chipping, vegetable dicing, food mincing, using a steaming oven and even waste disposal.

You can buy food machinery signs from us that instruct users on proper hygiene methods, including any PPE required to operate machinery commonly used in commercial kitchens and food manufacturing lines.

Putting The Correct Food Safety Signs In Place


Following the legislative framework established in the Food Safety Act 1990 makes it easier to create a procurement list for the sort of signage needed to meet health and safety kitchen rules. This legislation and various trade bodies provide a guide to proper management of other areas where food is stored, manufactured, processed and sold.

Depending on the nature of your organisation, there could be other specialist food machine signs you need to source, or other warning requirements you are mandated to meet in the food and drink industry.

For example, if you are a food manufacturer using heavy-duty machinery, your safety signage may need to be from our more specialised range of food machine signs. This could include a risk of crushing sign that is clear and emphatic, to place near any processes that use equipment or racking that represents a substantial movement risk to employees.

Many food-related businesses also have laundries, such as larger hospitality companies or manufacturers that clean food prep workwear. In this case, you may well need dishwash machine signs along with all the other health and safety signage mandated by law.

More Help With Food Machine Signs And General Signage To Buy


The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) rules on safety signs state that “Employers must provide safety signs if there is a significant risk that can't be avoided or controlled in any other way.”

The phrase “significant risk” may seem ambiguous in food manufacturing, preparation or service businesses. The starting point should always be a risk assessment of your entire operations. From this, you may well create or update your safety rules for a safe kitchen or your policies and procedures for managing food production processes.

To some degree, your organisation must use its own judgement as to what types of food machine signs you commission, and where you place that signage. After all, you could never be accused of neglecting your duty of care or negating your indemnity insurance by having too many food machine signs, or too many safety regulations in a kitchen!

Proper Placement Of Food Machinery Signs


Finding a reliable supplier of high-quality, affordable safety signage is important. We offer a fast turnaround on food machine signs and other health and safety essentials. This ensures that you keep pace with changing layouts, new equipment installations and other immediate signage requirements.

Your next obligation as an employer in any sector of the food industry is to be constantly aware of how obvious your safety messaging is, including your food machine signs.

For example, in a busy commercial food preparation area, kitchen health and safety signs can become ‘part of the wallpaper’ and staff can start to forget that they are there.

In food manufacturing and packaging locations, your operational footprint can alter depending on your current production schedule, the season and new product lines. You need to conduct a regular evaluation and decide if your food machine signs have become inappropriately situated, or worse still, obscured by equipment and inventory.

To keep employees safe when using food machinery, it is vital to regularly review the status of your health and safety signage and if necessary, buy more food safety signage in different designs. Holding stock of relevant signage can also enable you to freshen up display boards, and possibly erect your food machinery signs in innovative ways. This makes this important safety reminder harder to miss or ignore.

This is one of the reasons why we offer a choice of sizes, types and fixing methods for food machine signs.
