SAFETY
SIGNAGE

It’s not just good practice to employ clear and adequate site safety signage, it’s the law. The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007 (with amendments in 2010 and 2012) cover employers’ obligations regarding safety signage where hazards cannot be avoided.
