Winter Signs

Winter Safety Signs: Buying Guide

As the winter weather sets in, the risk of slips, trips and falls in and around the workplace is heightened massively. Freezing temperatures will cause frost, ice and snow to form; all of which can lead to slippery conditions underfoot. It is up to business owners and their health & safety representatives to put the appropriate preventative steps in place to avoid accidents occurring on-site. Displaying clear, visible winter safety signs will help keep you legislation-compliant and is a great way to raise awareness of the dangers the colder months present.

What Kind Of Cold Weather Signs Should I Consider?

We stock a wide variety of signage options to keep everyone who accesses your premises safe and protected from potential harm.

Two main types of sign are especially useful during the winter months:

• Hazard Signs that warn staff or visitors of potentially dangerous conditions


• Information Signs which direct people on how to find or use areas and equipment

Hazard signs are yellow in colour and often use pictograms to ensure messages are understood. These can be displayed outside on large stanchion stands - perfect for car parks. For extra flexibility our freestanding poles can be used to display signs both in or out of doors making them useful for entrances and exits. Both are available as kits.

“A” board signs are also useful as they place the message on the ground where people are likely to be looking already.

Information signs are blue in colour and carry a variety of useful messages relating to the safe use and storage of winter weather equipment. They can be supplied in a choice of sizes and materials making them suitable for use anywhere on your site with minimal fuss - perfect for times when inclement weather occurs suddenly.
