Regulatory and Safety Signs

Make Sure Your Business Complies

As a business owner, you must take action to show that your company cares about both safety and inclusivity in the workplace. That not only means having safety procedures and being compliant with laws and regulations but communicating your commitment to both. SIGNWAVE® can help you reassure your customers that you are committed to their health, safety and comfort. We offer custom regulatory and warning signs and can help you communicate all of your policies.

When it comes to regulations, it's important to be clear about your compliance. In Australia, the Disability Discrimination Act (1995) and more recently the Equality Act (2010) requires that service providers, no matter their size, have made reasonable adjustments to their buildings, in order to make them accessible to those with disabilities, which also means you need to have DDA signage throughout your property. It’s important to factor these signs into your overall visual communication strategy.

What Are DDA & Regulatory Signs?

Regulatory signs communicate policies and precautions your business takes to protect any visitors. At SIGNWAVE, we offer a wide variety of regulatory signs that will inform all visitors of laws, regulations and any requirements.

These signs are often found in permanent use rooms and areas, including:

Stairwells
Lifts
Fire exits
Entryways
Car Parks

If you need to alert your customers about these kinds of policies, the SIGNWAVE team can help you clearly deliver your message. These signs are a critical part of any public space or work area and should always be installed in areas where they are highly visible and easy to read.

Every premise and venue is different and it is important that you understand your obligations under the current law. A good place to start is at the DDA website. We can then help you will all your DDA requirements

The Importance of DDA Requirement Signage

Clearly communicating your DDA compliance will protect your business and help your visitors feel welcome and supported. The team at SIGNWAVE is ready to handle all your DDA and safety signage needs so that you can have the peace of mind you need.

Safety signs should be large enough to read from the optimal viewing distance. The wording on safety signs should be legible since the information is used to alert people.

To determine the size of safety signs, consider how far away one will be when they need to know about a hazard. If a hazard takes up a big area in a doorway, hallway, parking lot warehouse or other large space, a safety sign should be large enough to read from a safe distance before someone enters this area.

The size of safety signs depends on viewing distance and your specific needs. SIGNWAVE can create custom safety signs in a variety of sizes and shapes.
A pictogram is a symbol representing a word or an idea that is explained through a pictorial resemblance to a physical object. Pictograms represent concepts by illustration and are commonly found in signs in public places or roads.
Pictograms are used to communicate as clearly as possible by removing details and focusing on the universally understood symbols. Often used in corporate branding as flat icons and in warning signage for alerts of chemical hazards, pictograms offer an easy to read way to illustrate everything from danger and no smoking to escape route and health hazard.
Red – Prohibition Signs (Danger or Emergency, Do not do this); Fire Signs (Fire Equipment)
Blue – Mandatory Signs (Must do this, instructions)
Yellow – Warning Signs (Caution, warning of hazard or risk)
Green – Safe Condition (Positive action, no danger, safe)
Black – Information Signs (General information)
