As a facilities manager of any description, some of your primary roles will include health and safety, fire safety, security, and the maintenance, testing and inspection of your premises. For each of these roles you’re going to need the correct signs, labels, and tags to ensure the facilities you manage are safely maintained

Failure to meet health and safety requirements can lead to prosecution, insurance claims, loss of business, and of course injury. Luckily, at Label Source we sell a range of safety signs from hazard signs to mandatory safety signs, all of which ensure regulations are met by the general public.

When it comes it fire safety we can also assist facilities managers in their duties. Our fire equipment safety signs inform the public where all extinguishers, fire hose reels, and alarm call points are, making sure your area is fully protected in case of an outbreak of fire.

As paranoid as it sounds, CCTV is everywhere; whether you’re in a shop, waiting for a train, or just out for a walk, there’s a pretty good chance you’re on camera!

Of course, closed-circuit surveillance systems are a huge boon for businesses who want to cut down on crime. CCTV cameras are particularly popular in convenience stores and other small shops, where they are used to spot any suspicious behaviour and catch shoplifters red-handed.

Do you use CCTV cameras?

If so, you need to put up some CCTV warning signs! Not merely because it’s courteous, but because you’re actually obliged by law to do so – several acts of parliaments have been passed to regulate the use of CCTV, including the Human Rights Act 1998 and the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000.

Basically, people have the right to know when they are being filmed, and so it’s your responsibility as the CCTV operator to notify them. Of course, those CCTV signs benefit you as well – people are less likely to shoplift in the first place when they’re aware of the cameras that are pointed at them!

Reasons to put up CCTV signs:

• Meet the necessary legal requirements
• Discourage criminals
• Reassure customers/visitors that they are protected from crime

We're a sensible bunch here at Label Source, but even we don't like to take ourselves too seriously all of the time. This short blog is all about traffic signs, and divulging a few - perhaps pointless - facts related to them; just think how impressed your mates will be when you start reciting traffic signs trivia!

1. Traffic signs have been around since the time of the Roman Empire. Using pillars or milestones the Romans would let travellers know just how far away they were from the great city.

2. Double yellow lines were first introuced to the UK in 1960, by the Road Traffic Act of 1960.

3. Pedestrian crossings have a small metal or plastic cone on the underneath of them which spins as the green man appears.

4. There is a genuine correlation between the number of road traffic incidents and the condition of the signs in that area.

5. The colour red was first used as a stop signal as it symbolises blood, and so is the logical choice to get people's attention, and warn them of perils.
