Posted By Descarte ^^ Depends, have you any first aiders? first aid boxes? Any fire extinguishers, evac points, evac routes? No one here could tell you exactly which signs you will need, this would have to be done on site by a qualified safety professional. A copy of the signs and signals regs may help give you an idea of what signs should look like to comply with the regs, but then again it again will not tell you which ones you need for your specific site which will be unique.

Posted By MICK MEAD, CMIOSH I agree this cannot be answered via the thread. I also agree a copy of the Regs is a sound idea. A look at a signs catalogue would also give you ideas. I also agree it needs someone to take a closer look at the premises. Mick

Posted By Descarte Ironically I had Chubb fire in not long after this post and they mentioned that they would be wiling and able to do a free (fire) safety signs inspection of the building and make suitable recommendations. Although he did try to get me to switch to them for our extinguisher servicing at the same time :p
