Compliance refers to ensuring that signs meet the legal and regulatory requirements set out by various governing bodies. These requirements are in place to ensure that signs are safe, effective, and do not cause any harm to the public or the environment.
Signs must comply with various regulations and codes of practice, including the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996, the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, and the British Standards Institute’s Code of Practice for Signage.
The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 set out the requirements for safety signs in the workplace. This includes the design, layout, and installation of signs to ensure that they are clear, visible, and effective in conveying their message.
The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 requires that signs are accessible to all, including those with disabilities. This includes ensuring that signs are designed and installed in a way that is easy to read and understand, regardless of a person’s visual or physical abilities.
The British Standards Institute’s Code of Practice for Signage provides guidance on the design, construction, and installation of signs. This code of practice covers a wide range of sign types, from internal and external signs to temporary signs and traffic signs.
