Since the change of legislation for Safety Signs and Signals in December 1998, it is now illegal not to conform to the regulations as set out in the Health and Safety Regulation 1996 to ensure a minimum standard in all work places throughout the UK. PROMPT FIRE PROTECTION supply a complete range of safety signs which comply with the Health and Safety requirements. These include: Fire Fighting Equipment, Fire Action (i.e: exit signs), Hazards and Prohibition to Mandatory and First Aid information. SO HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU? All new signage must show a symbol together with the text (if appropriate). Fire Fighting Equipment must be clearly identified. Means of escape must be shown. Employers must provide employees with training in an understanding of Safety Signs and measures to be taken in connection with Safety Signs. EXAMPLES OF AVAILABLE SAFETY SIGNS: Health and Safety at work is the Responsibility of all personnel within a working environment. The prevention of accident, injury or harm to an individual is the responsibilty of managers, owners and/or occupiers. Risk assessment is based on an investigation of measures to avoid them. This includes training of staff awareness , evacuation and safety measures which include Fire Safety Equipment. When implemented the new system will fulfill the majority of demands of Fire Prevention Legislation that is now known as Self Assessment. PROMPT FIRE PROTECTION offer a full consultancy based on an hourly rate plus travel time (if appropriate) and is available at your workplace if required.     Should you wish to do it yourself, we can provide a manual at a cost of £9.95 (incl. VAT), plus postage and packaging.
