Office safety signs are an essential part of the health and safety procedures at your workplace! In order to ensure that employees are reminded to follow safety measures and are aware of any possible hazards, clear visual instruction must be implemented throughout your workplace facility, in work stations, refreshment areas and more. 

To help you gain a clearer understanding of how and where these notices should be used, here's a closer look at some of the essential office safety signs that are required in your workplace: 

No Smoking Safety Signs

Legislation dictates that all enclosed spaces should be kept smoke-free, in order to avoid secondary health risks and fire hazards. These should be visible for all employees and visitors, particularly in areas such as stairwells and lavatories which may wrongly be viewed as suitable areas for smoking.

Slip Trips and Fall Hazard Signs

Fall incidents make up the majority of workplace injuries, which is why these markers are included in our list of essential office safety signs. Whether its an unexpected step or a recently cleaned floor, offices can present a variety of common hazards, which can be prevented if the correct warnings are provided.

Manual Handling Signs

Although these risks are often associated with more demanding environments such as warehouses and construction sites, many manual handling tasks exist in office spaces, but are often overlooked due to the fact that they are not the primary focus of daily operations. Nevertheless, manual handling procedures should be efficiently managed, with safe handling being actively promoted throughout the office.

First Aid & Safe Conditions Signs

These are arguably the most important office safety signs, due to the fact they enable both routine and emergency safety procedures to be completed efficiently. Not only do they provide essential instructions for action in the case of an injury or health risk, they also provide clear visual indicators for identifying life-saving equipment such as first aid kits and defibrillators.

Fire Safety Signs 

Fire safety is an essential element of all workplace safety procedures, and is particularly important in locations such as large office buildings, which often present complicated exit procedures in the case of a fire. Detecting fires, alerting others to their presence and using appropriate action to respond are all vital steps in the fire safety process, which is why office safety signs should be used to cover each of these elements efficiently.

If you're looking for a label that will allow you to efficiently track your assets. Asset tags help to minimise the risk that your property will be stolen or lost. High-value items such as electrical appliances, tools and computers will be assigned a unique serial number, or barcode, and marked accordingly using a label or tag. They allow you to collect a database of your assets - so, when one of you assets goes missing, you can identify the exact asset that has gone missing. Also, if the database is efficiently managed, you may even be able to detect the last known whereabouts of the object, and who was the last oerson to use the item. Asset tags will also help with the police's investigation if your asset has been stolen. Asset tags make your stolen item identifiable, making it easier to track down!

Here at Label Source we sell a huge range of Asset Tags and Serial Numbering Labels - but if you're looking to create your very own asset tags, we offer a Custom Asset Tag Builder that will allow you to create your very own unique asset tag. Here's how to create your own tag:
