Description

“Keep Clear Refuge Point” is printed here as a blue circle mandatory sign telling people what they must do, on rigid board, ready to fix up. Typical places for it: refuge points on stairs and landings.

The symbol is ISO 7010 M001 (general mandatory action sign), the standard pictogram used across the UK and Europe, so the sign can be understood at a glance, even by people who do not read English.

Choose from 4 sizes, A4 (210 x 297 mm) up to A1 (594 x 841 mm). As a rough guide you can read a sign from about 1 metre away for every 25 mm of its shorter side, so the smallest size here suits a reading distance of about 8 m and the largest about 24 m. Sizes that are not a standard board size are cut to the exact size.

Board options: 3mm Foamex is light, smooth and easy to fix with screws or tape, the usual choice for indoor walls and doors; 3mm Dibond, an aluminium composite, is rigid and weatherproof and lasts for years outdoors on walls, fences and posts. Add fixing holes in the top corners or all four corners if you are screwing it to a wall, post or fence.

Under the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996, employers in Great Britain must put up safety signs where a risk cannot be avoided or controlled in another way. Your risk assessment decides where they go; this page supplies the printed sign.
