Safety Signs

Safety signs within a company should be treated as a long-term investment which can prevent you from losing money on claims and compensation fees that could come from future accidents. The use of safety signs is also regulated by EU and Irish law and rules oblige employers to provide safety signs in any workplace where other methods cannot deal satisfactorily with the risks. Safety signs are not a substitute for other methods of controlling a risk; they are to be used to supplement or reinforce other measures. It is worth to conduct a safety signs audit within premises to identify areas which should be equipped with proper safety signage. The safety signs available on HuntOffice.co.uk are made from adhesive vinyl and PVC which guarantee easy mounting and long lasting performance. A lot of safety signs are available in various sizes to meet any requirements.

	about Collector Caution Cone for Wet Floors Stackable Height 900mm Ref JCP121-200-200
	Good Value Caution Signs"
	"I bought a 'Wet Floor' cone years ago. It would have lasted longer only the storeman drove over it with a forklift and ended its happy life. I contacted our cleaning supplier to see if he had some and he said that he did not know anyone that did them and told me to try online. I bought this caution wet floor cone from the hunt office website. It was very cheap and because it was four sided the message was on all sides. I just hope that the storeman sees this one and that my wet floor cone does not come to a squashed end, like the last one."

	Essential Caution Sign For Every Business!
	"I purchased the wet floor sign last week for our business, we needed to do for health and safety. Since we brought the sign we used it twice last week (someone spilled coffee twice!!!). To be fair the staff here are great for cleaning up spills and putting up the sign however they forget to take the sign down when the floor is dry. Anyhow an essential sign to have for every business."

	I Will Be Recommending Huntoffice!!
	"This wet floor sign was delivered promptly and as it looks on the huntoffice website. I manage a large supermarket / Deli and having a large amount of customers coming and going everyday it is essential to have one of these signs to prevent not only customers from falling over and hurting themselves but staff members also. I had used some Stewart Superior products before so I knew they were a good brand which is why I ordered this particular one. The sign itself is very durable, it stands upright without wobbling. The yellow colour is extremely visible even from the other end of the shop. The carrying handle makes it easy to move around and can be folded up and stored away without taking up much needed storage space. Of all the online stores I tried it was the cheapest here and with the delivery and customer service I received I will be recommending huntoffice to other businesses in my area. Delighted with the service."
