The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 state, that every employer and self-employed person has a legal obligation to regularly carry out a risk assessment relating to the health and safety of their employees, and if the risks cannot be eliminated, then a safety sign must be used to warn staff, and visitors alike of the hazard on your premises.
Health and safety laws apply to all businesses, how ever small, and are enforced by inspectors from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) or your local authority. Usually it is the Health and Safety Executive that will inspect factories, building sites, etc. and the local authority small venues such as offices, shops, hotels, and leisure activities.
These inspections must be carried out to make sure that rules are being adhered to by all businesses that employ staff, this will include self employed personnel.
Specific signage must be provided by employers under the health and safety regulations, wherever a risk exists, and any company employing one or more staff members must display a Health and safety law poster.
If you are already in business, then it would be prudent to check all your safety signage to make sure it is current and legal, if you are new to business then the advice of professional signage providers would be the order of the day.
