As well as being an industry leader when it comes to safety
signs and practically everything health and safety related, UK based
Safetyshop have recently taken the decision to use a more
environmentally friendly material as a part of their safety sign
production process, another area in which the company is leading the
way.
The workplace safety specialists have researched alternatives to the material used
up until now, PVC at 1mm thick and found that polypropylene to be an all round
better choice when it comes to sign manufacturing. Polypropylene is 1.2mm thick,
recyclable and hard wearing enough to be a suitable eco-friendly replacement to PVC,
meaning that businesses will not need to buy replacements in just a few years time.
All signs manufactured by Safetyshop use the recognisable symbols and warnings
covering anything from no smoking signs to no access and fire exit signs, all of
which comply with the ISO 7010 standards that apply to all EU countries. The range
is also constantly expanding as new ISO symbols are released ensuring Safetyshop’s
range covers all possible situations.
Sara Banks, UK Product Manager at Safetyshop commented, “Our safety sign
manufacturing process is something we pride ourselves on and this move to the
superior Polypropylene signs will help make sure our processes are as
environmentally friendly as possible, yet remain effective and compliant with
industry standards.
“Safety signs are a large part of our business and we have listened to our customers
comments to make sure we are catering for all customers and industries. We have had
comments such as being able to find a particular sign being too difficult and made
sure to simplify the process, as well as reducing the quantity of duplicate sign
styles as well”
The new range of signs will be filtering through to the whole range of signs at
Safetyshop.com as well as their custom sign designing service where businesses can
create their own bespoke designs. Businesses looking to equip their workplace with
the relevant safety signs for their line of work should visit the website at
Safetyshop.com.
