Disabled Signs

Disabled Signs

Our wide range of Disabled Signs assists with displaying safe fire exit routes tailored to suit the needs of wheelchair users and more. Each safety sign provides clear pinpoints for secure areas and facilities to enhance independence and confidence.

Fire exit signs point towards the nearest fire exit of a building in the event of an evacuation. However, Wheelchair Fire Exit Signs inform those who require assistance or improved accessibility of a specially tailored route. Escape routes featuring slopes or ramps offer assistance to exit buildings quickly.

Are Disabled Signs Mandatory?

Under the Equality Act 2010, businesses have a legal duty to make reasonable adjustments across workspaces to promote inclusivity. By making areas more accessible, workers of all abilities can navigate floors, lifts, and exits comfortably and safely. 

Displaying safety signs is one of many ways to improve work environments for all employees. A failure to display adequate safety signage could lead to discrimination claims and penalties. 

Rules apply differently depending on where you're looking to install Disabled Signs. Locations such as parking bays must display adequate signs under the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD) 2016. 

In areas such as toilets, displaying Disabled Signs isn't a legal requirement. However, businesses ought to consider displaying signs to improve accessibility.

Where Should I Display Disabled Signs?

Installing signage is a simple process, and it's best placed at eye level or close to building entrances and exits. Every sign features clear graphics and instructions to communicate important safety information and actions. 

Parking facilities, building entrances, and fire exit routes are all suitable areas which benefit from disability signage. Each sign informs individuals of accessible areas specially tailored to suit impairment needs.

Parking bays with hatched yellow markings or white dashed markings highlight suitable bays for wheelchair users and others. By displaying disabled signs, anyone can locate suitable entrances, exits, and facilities suited for disabled groups. Available in either portrait or landscape orientations, our collection of signage communicates clear safety instructions. This includes signs such as Press for Assistance, ensuring individuals can access help wherever needed.

Crafted with photoluminescent material, our signs will glow in the dark, making them visible during all hours.
