Signage

There are a few different categories of signs each building requires to make it safe and protected. There are signs required by Law, High Risk and Duty of Care, not to mention Directional/Informative signage that makes your premises visitor friendly.

Lawful Compliance
There are a few signs that are required by law, some examples are Pool Depth, Resuscitation signs around a pool and a sign above the Emergency Stop button on a Spa. No Smoking Signs in common areas and Fire Safety Signage are also enforced on every premise.

High Risk Duty of Care
Signs in this category are designed to help protect your clients from dangerous situations or damage, while also protecting you from costly Liability suites. Some of these include: - Pool, Spa and BBQ Rules, Maximum Height Bars in Carparks or driveways and ‘Slippery When Wet’ Signs.

Duty of Care
In this Step, the signs involved are created to warn your clients of potential danger and clear you of any responsibility in case something should go wrong. Remember signs like the following examples are all warning signs to protect your clients, your property and your pocket :- Pool operating hours, ‘Trespassers will be prosecuted’, ‘Clear your Car of all Valuables’, or No Bikes, No Skateboards, No Scooters.

Directional and Informative
This is the important step to make your business one to remember. Make your business easy to navigate, user friendly, informative and fun. Advertise upcoming Events, Complimentary local businesses, Specials, Gift Incentives, your Business or Staff Achievements and Awards plus the history of your company if it’s relevant. These are the important factors people take home and tell their friends about.
