Mandatory Signs

Mandatory signs tell people what they must do to follow safety rules. These signs are essential tools for any workplace, helping to prevent accidents and meet the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996. When you see a mandatory sign, it means the instruction must be followed - it's not optional.

What Colour are Mandatory Signs?

Mandatory signs have a specific design: a blue circular background with a white pictogram inside. This standardised colour scheme makes them easy to spot and understand. While this design is widely recognised in the UK and EU, some variations may exist in different countries or industries.

Where to Use Mandatory Signs

These signs are crucial in many workplace settings:

• Factory floors and workshops
• Building sites
• Warehouses
• Loading bays
• Machine rooms
• Stairways
• Electrical areas
• Maintenance zones
• Plant rooms
• Training areas
• Equipment storage areas
• Access points

Our mandatory signs help keep your workplace safe and compliant. Each sign comes with fitting choices to match where you'll use it. You can pick from sticky vinyl for smooth walls, tough plastic for outdoor use, or smart-looking foam board for offices.
