Construction signage Manchester

Construction sites can be dangerous places for people working on them and for the general public. They involve the use of heavy items such as bricks that can potentially cause serious injury if they fall. Other possible hazards are those related to electrical power, which is central to building work, and trips and falls. What this means is that construction sites are workplaces where the installation of signage is particularly important.

Having health and safety signs in all areas of the site where there are dangers will be a legal necessity on construction sites. That makes them different from many other workplaces. It means that the design and manufacturing of construction signage must be done with an awareness of the existing health and safety, planning and legal regulations. Getting your safety signs designed and made by experienced professionals is the best way to ensure that you are complying with these.

Directional signage and hoardings

While safety signs are the single most important type needed on construction sites, they are certainly not the only type. Directional signs will also be required to indicate to workers where diversions are in place and to enable them to move around the site as quickly and efficiently as possible. These signs can also function as safety ones though, by highlighting potentially dangerous parts of the site for both workers and the public.

Hoardings are a third common signage type found on construction sites. These large-scale signs are used to demarcate parts of the site where work is active, but also usually contain the name and contact details of the company carrying out the work. Thus, they are advertising signs for the building firm too.

Customised sign creation

No two building sites are identical, and each one will have its own unique requirements when it comes to signs. We offer a customised service that involves a detailed assessment of what will be needed before any work is done on the creation of the signs.

That includes an evaluation of what risks to employees and the public there will be. This guarantees that the finished on-site safety signs conform to all legal requirements. It is that attention to detail that we have built our reputation on.
