Signs Audit

What is a Signs Audit?

A Signs Audit is an inspection of work premises to assess the suitability of existing signage and identify areas where new signage is needed. The audit will cross reference with any existing risk assessments if available. After the visit a 'jargon free' report is then provided indicating where and what type of signage is needed. A signs audit ensures that:

• Premises are fully compliant with appropriate safety signs
• Staff are kept aware of all risks by accurate and up to date signage

Signs Audits are carried out by health and safety professionals who specialise in safety signs. The duration of a Signs Audit depends on the size of your premises, but most small to medium businesses can be audited in one day, including report writing and recommendations.

Why do You Need a Signs Audit?

The Law

The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regs 1996 says appropriate safety or warning signs must be provided, and maintained, where any risks identified by a risk assessment (required by the Management Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1992) cannot be controlled by other means.

Duty of Care

Signs provide valuable instructional safety messages to your staff and therefore help control safety risks and enhance the safety of everyone. The effectiveness of signs are paramount in emergency situations such as fires because only clear accurate messaging can lead people to safety. That is why signs need to be appropriate, up to date and in good condition.
