As Health and Safety Consultants we do not believe safety should be a bolt on and definitely not be seen as a necessary evil to be tolerated. A good Health and Safety management system should be appropriate to the undertaking, embedded into company culture whilst working in harmony with the company to create a safe workplace which is not over burdened with unnecessary paperwork.
The Fast R Solutions team of Health and Safety consultants aim to provide peace of mind for their clients, providing expert advice and support to guide you through the sometimes onerous and time consuming Health & Safety duties placed on employers.
If you are struggling to stay on top of the legal requirements then one of our Health and Safety consultants can help reduce the burden. Providing everything from a single risk assessment to a fully defined and functioning Health and Safety system. Once a company's requirements and needs have been defined our team of Health & Safety Consultants can produce, plan, implement and embed Health and Safety policies and processes with the minimum of fuss.
Below are just some of the services our Health and Safety consultants can provide. If you have a particular requirement not covered then give us a call on 0800 246 1802
Safety signs are colour coded in order to make them easier to understand.
Red safety signs (usually a red border) are Prohibition signs stating that something should not be done; for example 'No Smoking' signs etc
Blue safety signs are Mandatory signs stating what Must be done; for example 'Fire Door' signs
Yellow safety signs are Warning signs to provide information on hazards etc that cannot easily be controlled; for example 'Caution Hot Water' signs.
Green safety signs are usually 'Fire safety information; for instance the 'Running Man' signs indicating the fire escape routes.
That all depends on the property and how big it is.
Small residential blocks with 2-4 apartments may not benefit form the installation of a Fire Action Notice. But residents should be informed on the actions to take in the event of a fire.
Larger residential blocks, public buildings, commercial premises, factories etc should display appropriate Fire Action Notices in order to provide information to relevant persons in the event of a fire.
Fire Action Notices should comply with BS 5499-2:1986 Fire safety signs, notices and graphic symbols.
Fast R Solutions always recommend Fire Action Notices use graphical symbols rather than written notices. This helps those who cannot read the text understand what is required
The simple answer is Yes
Any enclosed area that is not a domestic premise should display No Smoking signs in accordance with the Smoke Free Regulations 2006
Within blocks of apartments it is recommended that signs state No Smoking in the communal areas this helps prevent confusion for the residents.
Signs Placement
Signs should be placed at all entrances to the buildings; this includes out side the entrances to under-croft car parks. Additional signs should be placed throughout the building if there is a specific need
Stay compliant with the Fire Safety Order 2005. FASTR Solutions makes fire risk assessments simple, helping you protect your business and team.
