There’s no doubt that safety signs are key to the health and safety procedures of any workplace or public space. That being said, upholding high safety sign standards is not just about having all the appropriate signage and ensuring the design is clear and accessible. If you fail to follow the correct signage installation procedure, even the best signs won’t be fit for purpose.

Here, we’ve put together a brief guide to safety sign regulations to help you avoid common pitfalls and make sure your space is health and safety compliant. More...

Effectively managing workplace air pollution and minimising waste are essential elements of maintaining regulatory compliance. But the benefits go beyond that – reducing pollution and waste also helps keep your team healthier (and happier!), brings down the cost of operations, and enables you to build your public profile as an environmentally conscious company.

Below, we’ve rounded up our top suggestions for minimising waste in the workplace and protecting against pollution. More...

Electricity plays a vital role in modern life. From transportation to entertainment, electricity is the driving force behind many industries. Unfortunately, mishandling of high voltage electrical equipment can often result in serious injury, structural damage and even death.

Every year, the HSE receives reports of around 1,000 accidents involving electric shocks or burns. An average of 30 of these are unfortunately fatal. This highlights a great demand for electricity warning symbols in the workplace.

In this post, we explain the importance of electrical warning signs, what the various symbols mean, and how employers can prevent injury to their workers.

Here at Label Source we provide a huge selection of labels which are specifically designed for the hazard prevention and identification process, offering a flexible and reliable safety solution to all sorts of businesses and organisations. 

While it is highly important that these labels are visually clear and recognisable, it is also important to ensure that these labels are reliable and resilient, particularly in the most demanding workspaces. There would be little use for a chemical label that can not withstand the very chemical it warns against, which is why we supply chemical resistant labels. We ensure that our safety labels are made with the ability to withstand damage from several external factors, without compromising the quality of the message being presented.

Our high-quality chemical resistant labels are able to resist damage from oils and solvents, and can also be used in moisture-heavy environments thanks to their waterproof nature. In addition to these advantages, chemical resistant labels are also able to prevent scratches and abrasions from damaging their surface, for further protection. We have a huge range of chemical resistant labels that allow you to find what you need. 

Here are just some of the chemical resistant labels we provide:

Hand Protection Chemical Resistant Label

This chemical resistant label is used to promote the use of PPE in hazardous work environments and comes in a choice of 3 sizes.

Harmful Warning Chemical Resistant Label

If you're using our labels to point out chemical hazards, it stands to reason that you should also want these labels to be chemical resistant! These triangular labels are available in 3 sizes, with a variety of symbols to choose from.

Jumbo Write and Seal 'Tested' Label

Along with our mandatory symbol range, we also have a variety of customisable, chemical resistant labels, including those in our write and seal range.

When working with compressed gas, it's important that every safety measure possible is put in place to avoid any accidents or injuries. Any compressed gas can be hazardous due to the high pressure inside the cylinders. The compressed gas can be released safely by opening the valve on the cylinder, but gas can escape from a broken valve, causing it to become unsafe and harmful to the health and safety of your employers. Even when the pressure is low, gas can still escape from a cylinder. Compressed gas cylinder labels and signs are important to help avoid accidents, if they are correctly labelled they can be correctly handled. 

When compressed gas is released uncontrollably, gas cylinders can shoot off like rockets or become pinwheels, and cause some serious injury or damage. A cylinder valve can break if the cylinder has been knocked over or struck. Therefore, it's important that any compressed gas cylinders are correctly labelled, reducing any risk of accidents or injuries.

Here at Label Source, we have an excellent selection of Compressed Gas Labels & Signs to ensure that your gas cylinders are clearly marked to reduce the chance of compressed gas being released. All of our compressed gas signs are made of the highest quality materials, so you can be sure they will last. Some of our Compressed Gas Labels & Signs include:
