We have extensive experience in producing health & safety boards as per industry requirements – covering a portfolio of health and safety signs and graphics which include hygiene sensitive, DDA compliant, braille/tactile and way-finding signage.

Every business owner has a legal and moral responsibility to keep people safe on their property. Government regulations require business owners to post health and safety signage in their organisations to warn people about potential hazards.
Some examples of legally required signage are fire exit signs and health and safety law posters. In addition, you could also post health and safety signage that accommodates the specific rules of your organisation, such as no smoking signs and visitor parking only signs.
Hardy Signs is one of the leading manufacturers of bespoke health and safety signage in the UK. We can create a wide range of custom signage that warns or notifies people about anything related to the health and safety of your organisation. Our range of signage includes:
- – Warning, mandatory, or prohibition signs
- – Checkout sneeze guards
- – Queue management signage
- – No smoking signs
- – Photoluminescent signs
- – Health and safety law posters
- – First aid signs
- – Hygiene signs
- – Hazard tape
- – Braille signs
- – Social distancing warning signs and floor graphics

Hardy Signs has manufactured bespoke health and safety signage for over 25 years. No other company has the same level of knowledge and experience as our signage creators. We can manage signage projects of all shapes and sizes, whether you need a small wall sign or a large outdoor sign.
Our goal is to accommodate all your signage needs. The signage production process is a collaborative effort between you and our signage creators. If you have strict planning constraints or high-level access requirements, you’ll have the chance to discuss them with our team beforehand and give you some feedback or ideas.

Beck & Pollitzer
Hardy Signs team designed, manufactured and installed these Health and Safety Signs for Beck & Pollitzer recently.
Health and Safety Signs can be found almost everywhere, from nurseries and schools to hospitals, offices, shopping centres, hotels, conference facilities and construction sites.
They should be used to convey a clear, unambiguous message that can be easily understood by everyone, even when English is not their first language.
Site Survey
Site Survey
The first stage of a signage project is key to ensuring the smooth and efficient delivery throughout.
Our site surveyors will visit you in order to establish the definitive requirements, discuss the options available and to ultimately compile a brief for the design and accurate quotation.
Hardy Signs is proud to supply a high-quality design, manufacture and installation service and so in most cases, we do not charge for the site survey process…
We strive to ensure every project is delivered to it’s highest potential and that requires accurate measurements and specifications from the outset. In addition, site surveys allow us to provide risk assessments and method statements if required.
We can also offer advice on the maintenance and upkeep of your signage.
Contact us today to discuss your next signage site survey… call 01283 569102 or email [email protected]

The Greek Break
The owners approached our team with the task of turning their old food trailer, which hadn’t been used for years, into an attractive vehicle that represents the quality of their food.
The new graphics have been designed by our in-house creative team. The artwork has been printed through our digital printers and prepared by the workshop operatives. The vehicle was kept at optimal temperature overnight in order to ensure that the surface of the vehicle was ready for application. Our professional installers checked that the graphics are the exact size as in the brief, worked out the positions of the graphics and completed the installation within one day.

Window Graphics
Window Graphics
Your windows or glazed panels represent large surfaces where films and graphics can have a huge impact. With our various products, you can choose to completely cover or simply part cover the glass depending on your requirements.
For practicality and safety, we offer solar films to reduce the harmful UV rays – in addition to tinted and frosted films for privacy and reinforcement. Safety films are a popular choice in retail, healthcare, hospitality and many other sectors.
Large glazed areas could potentially be unsafe without these films and their cost is often marginal in comparison to toughened glass for example.
Window graphics can be decorative and impactful too. Our large format printing capabilities allow high-resolution images to be applied to your windows and maximize your advertising space.
Still, want to see out? No problem with our one-way-vision film… benefit from colourful and dynamic designs from the outside whilst allowing almost entirely unrestricted vision from within.
To complete the project, our installers are well versed in window films graphics and will take the hassle away with our full installation service.
