Safety Signage's Integral Place on the Worksite

Site managers generally care about two main things: productivity and safety. Well, Timberfix can help with both, offering a range of hardware, fasteners and site supplies for any site in Australia.

These include signage relating to fire, hygiene, security, traffic, and various hazards. Whatever your site needs, we’re confident we can cater to keep your business running in a safe and orderly way.

Here, we discuss a few of the benefits of safety signage and where you might need it on your next job site. 

Benefits of Safety Signage

Having clear signage around your worksite keeps everything flowing in a regulated way, keeping standards high and injuries low. 
Custom safety signage that is specific to your business can remove the need for workers to stop and ask questions, as they may be more quickly answered by clear signage.

If the signs are placed correctly and are easily visible for the necessary audience, they can go a long way to stopping preventable incidents of human error from occurring. This can avoid potential injury or property damage.

The use of safety signage will often be regulated by your respective industry in line with Australian Standard 1319 - Safety Standard for the Occupational Environment.

Therefore, their use will not only ensure the safety of your employees but it will keep your business safe from fines and sanctions from industry bodies and auditors such as WorkSafe.

Timberfix is sure to have a sign for every scenario, so check out our website to reap the rewards of custom safety signage. 

Types of Signage and Their Applications

Some signs have a broad purpose while others are far more specific. Hygiene practice signage, for example, has been widely popular over the past couple of years and continues to be as we move into the heart of Australia’s flu season.

Alternatively, something like ‘Danger: Deep Excavation’ will only be applicable to something like a quarry or a pipe installation project. If our range was narrower and our signs simply read ‘Danger’, readers may not understand what kind of danger to be wary of.

Our fire safety signage should be widely applicable as it can alert workers to nearby extinguishers and what measures should be taken in the case of a fire emergency. Equally, traffic safety signs can apply to a wide range of job sites where any kind of car, truck, excavator, forklift operates. 

Labels & Stickers

If your safety signage needs have already been met, Timberfix also offers a range of custom labels, stickers and tags. 
These have been popular additions to safety helmets – good for displaying names, titles or inductions status. They can also be used to keep PPE and other equipment stored in an orderly manner, improving safety by removing any equipment that would otherwise be left lying around.
