| Abstract |
This information sheet presents the safety signs the catering premises need to display depending on the risks present. Main safety signs that are required are: wet floors; storage of harmful chemicals; fire exit signs; fire fighting signs; first aid location; gas pipes and LPG cylinder stores; fragile roofs. Commercially bought and self-made signs should comply with the Health and Safety (Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 (see CIS 96-392). Catering establishments should check their existing signs to ensure that they are correct, suitably located, clean and durable and that the lighting of illuminated signs is regularly checked. |
