Site Safety
Safety in the workplace is an area of utmost importance for both employers and employees. It is a legal duty of employers to have the correct safety equipment and signage in their workplace. There are many risks that need to be managed and mitigated depending on the environment and task being carried out, so it is vital to take the time to review your site and the safety supplies that are available to ensure they're suitable and compliant with any regulations.

Safety Signs
Clear signage is a safety fundamental for any workplace and usually a legal requirement. They're used to easily convey messaging or give instructions to follow. Popular sign categories include:
- Hazard signs - to warn people of potential dangers e.g electric shocks
- Fire exit signs - highly important signs that indicate where to exit and evacuate during a fire
- Road signs - commonly used on construction sites to control traffic
- CCTV - prominent signs are important not only for security but also for GDPR compliance
