We are looking to remove all the old site signage that has dated, faded, no longer relevant etc. Looking to put in place one large signage board denoting the hazards, PPE requirements , key information etc at each building entrance/access point. Ideal to create uniformity and to be clear and concise. On a walk round, the old building have had asbestos warning signs and fragile roof warning signs dotted historically across old buildings. I will be renewing the asbestos signage to identify ACM walls etc. We have no roof access points - so do we still need to display "warning fragile roof" for each of the buildings? Any work or access to roofs will always be under a PTW systems and subject to RAMS with specialist contractors. The site is private/secured and not shared or open to the public either.

Locked doors only keep out honest persons.
As premises occupier you owe a duty of care to anyone (including intruders & trespassers) so removing the warnings would not be in the company's best interest in the event of.... Then you have the potential for site attendance by non-employees in unplanned emergency situations - fire, police, ambulance - think they may appreciate a warning before clambering up to drop through

"The site is private/secured and not shared or open to the public either." I've encountered managers/engineers on large sites who quietly made up their own sets of keys over the years so I'd go with renewing signs behind locked doors, too.
