BS5499 signs satisfy existing UK legislation and for signs that have not been adopted yet by ISO 7010.

The Health & Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 put into practice the European Safety Signs Directive (92/58/EEC). Designed to standardise safety signs reducing the risk of misunderstandings arising from geographical differences across the European Community.

How does it affect employers? All employers must use a safety sign where a risk would otherwise go uncontrolled. All safety signs should contain a pictorial symbol. The regulations encourage the increased use of symbols and this includes all fire safety signs.

Important Legal Update: Referring to The Fire Risk Precautions (Workplace) Amendment Regulations 1999, all employers have a legal requirement to provide a full and documented Risk Assessment in respect of Health and Safety and Fire.

Previously exempt organisations are now required to carry out a Risk Assessment. Failure to do so means in the event of an accident the company directors can be held liable and prosecuted (legislation pending, referred to as ‘Corporate Killing’). It is estimated that this amendment will affect an additional 1.5 million business premises in the UK, including the following previously exempt premises:

Schools, places of entertainment, any hotels, some boarding houses, public houses, churches and other places of worship.
