The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996.

The regulations require employees to use a safety sign where there is a significant risk to health and safety that has not been avoided or controlled by methods under other relevent law, provided that use of a sign can help reduce risk.

The regulations apply to all workplaces and to all activities where people are employed, but exclude signs used in connection with transport or the supply and marketing of dangerous materials, products and equipment. These are covered under separate legislation e.g. Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for supply) Regulations (CHIP).

In addition the regulations require, where necessary, the use of road traffic signs in workplaces to regulate road traffic but are not intended for use in directing traffic on public roads, waterways etc.

* Employers must provide employee training in the understanding of safety signs
