Warning & Hazard Signs Ireland

Warning safety signs — the yellow-triangle hazard signs required under ISO 7010 and the Irish Safety, Health and Welfare at Work regulations — alert workers and visitors to a present danger. Safety Sign Centre supplies the full hazard range and dispatches nationwide.

Most-ordered warning signs

Slippery surface, forklift truck operating, overhead load, electric shock risk, hot surface, deep water, automatic door, fragile roof, falling objects, biological hazard.

When you need a warning sign

Once a hazard has been identified in your risk assessment and cannot be eliminated, a warning sign is a required control to alert people of the residual risk.

Outdoor and roadside use

For outdoor and roadside hazards we recommend Class 2 reflective on 3 mm ACM for maximum visibility and weather resistance.
