Product Information

Safety signs are there to ensure your personal safety and that of others. It is imperative that safety signage is used alongside other methods of reducing risk to employees such as safe working practices, properly maintained machinery, adequate training etc. Caution Hot Water Signs promote a culture of awareness and responsibility. By displaying these signs you create an environment where individuals are reminded to be cautious and considerate when dealing with hot water. This culture of awareness extends beyond the immediate vicinity of the sign and encourages a general mindset of safety and vigilance. Over time, this awareness can become ingrained in the behaviour and habits of individuals leading to a safer and more conscious approach to handling hot water in various settings. This is now the common EU law and offers a clear message – no matter the language you speak! The idea is to have commonly recognisable symbols and signage for danger – to ensure health and safety in any workplace.

Signage requirements apply to all workplaces and places where work activity is conducted, but exclude signs used in connection with transport or the supply and marketing of dangerous substances, products and equipment. These warning signs are largely aimed at users of taps and basins in kitchens, cleaning areas and bathrooms. They are designed to help people avoid scalding from water they don't realise to be hot. Should the worst happen, one of our fully compliant and comprehensive burns kits will help provide the injured party with the effective and immediate treatment required. These kits, which should be stored close to the areas containing temperature hazards, will be sufficient to treat burns or scalding and ease the pain for the sufferer. Dependent on the severity of the injury, a trip to hospital may also be necessary. These signs need to be fixed in a position where they are clearly visible before someone puts themselves at risk. Ideally at eye level and at a size which is clearly visible.
