Construction Signage Advice and FAQs
UK construction sites must display signs that follow the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996. These include mandatory PPE signs, prohibition signs such as “No Entry”, hazard warnings like “Danger Construction Site”, and safe condition signs for fire exits and first aid. By showing these clearly, sites stay compliant and safe.
Heras fence covers are fabric panels fixed to temporary fencing. They improve privacy and site branding. Mesh banners work in a similar way but usually attach to scaffolding or hoarding frames. Both options are breathable and weather-resistant, so they are effective for safety messages or promotional graphics.
Rigid construction signage often uses ACM (aluminium composite material), Correx (fluted plastic) or Dibond (premium ACM). Each material suits outdoor conditions, but ACM and Dibond offer greater durability. Correx works well when you need a more affordable short-term option.
You should inspect signage regularly, especially after bad weather or when site conditions change. Replace damaged, faded or outdated signs immediately. By doing so, you maintain both compliance and professionalism.
Place signs where everyone can see them, at entrances, access points, near hazards and along escape routes. Good placement is just as important as the content, because it ensures people notice the signs when they need them most.
ACM and Dibond boards usually last several years outdoors, so they are ideal for long projects. Correx boards cost less but wear faster, which makes them better for short-term use. Choosing the right material depends on how long your project will run.
Yes. Contractors often combine branding with compliance. For example, branded fence covers, mesh banners and hoarding panels can feature logos and colours while also showing mandatory safety icons. The key is to keep safety symbols visible and clear.
Construction signage reduces accidents, supports legal compliance and builds trust. Clear signs guide workers and visitors, while also showing inspectors and the public that the site is managed responsibly.
