There’s not much use in providing emergency first aid supplies if they’re hard to locate in a critical situation. It’s essential that your workplace first aid kits are easily accessible, clearly marked, and sign-posted with adequate, universally recognisable signage so that they can be found and used quickly in an emergency.
Steroplast’s comprehensive range of first aid signage covers all bases, clearly signposting the location of first aid supplies for when they’re needed and providing essential information in an emergency.

Storing your first aid kit on a station means it’s easy to see, easy to access, and out of the way of potential damage until you need it.
Steroplast’s range of eight different first aid stations is designed so that you can attach any of our Premier First Aid Kits directly onto the station, eradicating all effort to locate and access it in an emergency. All our first aid stations come complete with a quick-release bracket for immediate access to the kits and clear first aid instructions for responders to follow while providing treatment.

Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, UK business owners and employers are legally required to perform detailed risk assessments to identify and manage potential safety hazards in the workplace, including documentation and regular review. Importantly the Health & Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 require the use of safety signs to warn or instruct when necessary, which play an essential role in hazard prevention. While signage is essential in high-risk areas, it may not be required where there is no significant risk, except for mandatory fire safety signs. Understanding these regulations helps ensure a safer workplace and compliance with legal standards. We’ll breakdown the different safety signage categories below.
Warning signs warn of the risk of a hazard or danger in a designated area, such as a chemical or electrical hazard. Warning signs appear as a triangular symbol with a yellow background and a black border.

Safe condition signs are designed for legal compliance with the Health and Safety Regulations 1996. They indicate the location of first aid supplies or safety equipment or signpost safe exit routes. Safe condition signs vary in imagery, text, and shape but always feature a highly visible green background.

Mandatory signs dictate a specific behaviour: You must carry out the action displayed on the sign, such as ‘Safety goggles must be worn’, ‘Wear a face mask’ or “Drive slowly’. Mandatory signs feature a round-shaped blue circle with a white pictogram. Any text should be clear and concise.

As the name suggests, prohibition signs prohibit or forbid certain behaviours that may increase or cause danger in a certain area. A prohibition sign will tell the reader ‘you must not do’ a certain thing or ‘stop’. They appear as a black pictogram inside a circle with red edging and a red diagonal line running through it. They are commonly found in shops, schools, offices, factories, construction sites, agriculture, cafes, and commercial kitchens.

Fire signage is divided into several categories: warning signs, prohibition signs, mandatory signs, emergency exit signs or escape routes (with directional arrows), and fire equipment signs, which vary in colour and shape depending on the equipment they’re signposting.
