Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996
UK | Active Under Review
4 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.
5 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 (see paragraph 21).
6 The Regulations require, where necessary, the use of road traffic signs in workplaces to regulate road traffic (but see paragraph 22).
