Asbestos Signs for UK Workplaces

Our range of Asbestos signs plays a vital role in keeping staff, visitors and contractors safe from the harm of asbestos. 

Whether you’re managing a construction site, a commercial property, or heading up a refurbishment project, our asbestos warning signs are essential for preventing the long-term health effects of asbestos exposure. 

If you’re responsible for maintaining compliance, risk management and duty of care within your workplace, our range of asbestos signage helps you communicate hazards instantly, reduce liability and demonstrate that you take health and safety seriously.

Why Asbestos Signs Are Essential

Asbestos is one of the most dangerous health hazards in UK buildings. When disturbed from a settled state, asbestos fibres float in the air where they can be inhaled into the lungs, causing serious long-term health consequences for the victim, including asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma. 

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, employers are legally obligated to manage asbestos risks and ensure anyone who may be exposed is properly informed. Additionally, the Safety Signs and Signals Regulations also place a legal duty on employers to display warning signs where hazards cannot be controlled by any other means. 

Failure to comply with these regulations puts your staff at unnecessary risk and exposes your business to a range of undesirable consequences, including enforcement action, fines, and, in extreme cases, site shutdowns.

However, you don’t need to take these risks. By installing clear asbestos warning signs at site entrances and near asbestos hazards, you provide a strong visual warning that demonstrates your compliance with regulations and protect your staff from serious harm at the same time!

Where to Position Your Asbestos Safety Signs for Maximum Effect

To maximise impact, awareness, and compliance with your asbestos safety signs, position them at a few key strategic locations across your site. These include:  

Building Entrances

First and foremost, ensure these signs are displayed at site entrances. In doing so, you ensure that every person on site is aware of asbestos risks and takes precautionary measures, such as wearing PPE.

Areas with Known or Suspected ACMs

In addition to posting these signs at site entrances, they must be displayed in close proximity to the asbestos hazard. 

Waste Storage Areas

Clear asbestos warning signs should be positioned in close proximity to waste storage areas where asbestos is held for disposal.
