Conformance advice

To ensure improved intuitive comprehension of the safety message, the legislation requires that a formal risk assessment be carried out and this will determine the need for safety signs to locate and identify lifesaving equipment, escape routes and first aid equipment.

The Health and Safety Sign Association recommends that an audit and review should be carried out to determine the residual risk associated with using a safety sign of poor non-conforming design and a plan is drawn up for their replacement.
