Informing people of safe procedures: Safety signs can also inform people of safe procedures to follow in the workplace.

Larger premises should test alarms once a week and can inform staff of this via the wall sign, so that when they hear the alarm at that time they will not mistake it for a drill. The Regulations require employers to use a safety sign where there is a significant risk to health and safety that has not been avoided or controlled by the methods required under other relevant law, provided use of a sign can help reduce the risk. In general, these Regulations will not require any changes where existing fire safety signs containing symbols comply with BS 5499. The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 (the Safety Signs Regulations) implement European Council Directive 92/58/EEC on minimum requirements for the provision of safety signs at work.
