The Health and Safety Regulations 1996

The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 (the Safety Signs Regulations) implement European Council Directive 92/58/EEC on minimum requirements for the provision of safety signs at work. This guidance is aimed at helping employers meet their responsibilities under these Regulations.

Summary

All of our safety signs comply with the safety colour regulations. This ensures that certain colours adhere to their specific meanings.

The Regulations require employers to use a safety sign where there is a significant risk to health and safety that has not been avoided or controlled by the methods required under other relevant law, provided use of a sign can help reduce the risk. Safety signs are not a substitute for those other methods of controlling risks such as engineering controls and safe systems of work.

They apply to all workplaces and to all activities where people are employed, but exclude signs used in connection with transport or the supply and marketing of dangerous substances, products and equipment.

The Regulations require, where necessary, the use of road traffic signs in workplaces to regulate road traffic.

Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981

These UK regulations require employers to provide adequate first aid equipment, facilities, and personnel in the workplace. While they focus on the provision of first aid itself, the regulations implicitly require clear signage to identify the location of first aid facilities, aligning with the standards and practices outlined in BS 5499 and The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996.

Martyn's Law

The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, also refered to as 'Martyn's Law' addresses the need for public and private institutions to supply specific first aid items that are required when a mass casualty event occurs. By providing specialist trauma response first aid kits, emergency first aid can be performed till emergency services can arrive, and by having appropriate measures in place to respond to a terror attack and mitigate physical harm the loss of life from a terror attack can be greatly mitigated.

Traumatic injuries such as major bleeds can result in death in minutes, but having provisions to stop severe bleeding readily available, and clearly signposted and easy to access can be vital in keeping casualties alive until medical professionals are able to help.
