The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 implement European Council Directive [92/58/EEC] on minimum requirements for the provision of safety signs at work. The guidance is aimed at helping employers meet their responsibilities under these Regulations. The Directive standardises safety signs throughout member states of the European Union so that wherever a particular safety sign is seen it provides the same message.
The intention is that workers, who move from site to site, such as service engineers, will not be faced with different signs at different workplaces. The Directive and these Regulations require employers to provide safety signs where other methods, properly considered, cannot deal satisfactorily with the risks.
They cover traditional safety signs, such as the well-known ‘no smoking sign’ and other means of communicating health and safety information, such as hand signals, acoustic signals (e.g. warning sirens on machines) and verbal communications.

“After 30 years in business the best we have come across.”
After contacting FCS with an enquiry into various workplace training courses, I have been very impressed with the customer service and the excellent training we have had delivered on our site by Ian and his team. The feedback from staff members attending FCS courses has been of great enthusiasm and praise for the content and the engaging delivery which is key in getting all the important information across. After 30 years in business the best we have come across. So a big thankyou to First Class Safety and look forward to booking more training with you.

“Ian is always on hand for any advice i need”
I have been working with FCS since 2013 and have used the following services: Fork Lift Truck Training/refresher, Abrasive wheel training, H & S for managers & risk assessment training, IOSH Working Safely And Managing Safely and currently looking at Spill Measures training. I have found working with Ian and his team a very pleasing experience, they have always been very professional and accommodating to my training requirements. Prices are reasonable and the training provided has been enjoyable, useful and knowledgeable helping us to maintain H & S requirements regarding training. I have received positive comments from the employees who have received the training and Ian is always on hand for any advice I need. I would have no hesitation in recommending FCS, they are professional, reliable and I look forward to continuing our working relationship and continued H & S training with FCS.

First Class Safety was an easy choice for JRP when choosing to book our H&S courses. The courses were very local for us, and were run by experienced tutors who were able to get the course content across with interesting facts and knowledge. The new premises are impressive, with plenty of room. I have studied for the NEBOSH General Certificate recently at First Class Safety and we have also put employees through First Aid courses here
David Taylor For and on behalf of JRP Electrical Services Ltd
Many thanks to the friendly team at First Class Safety for the training they gave me for the NEBOSH National General Certificate. Safety can be a mundane topic to study. However, the First Class Safety team made it interactive and enjoyable, with many personal case studies & anecdotes from a former HSE Inspector to liven it up and make it easier to learn, remember and, most importantly, apply. Safety knowledge is only beneficial when it is applied to help keep people safe from harm. First Class Safety offer a wide range of practical safety services. I look forward to using their services again in the near future. My practical safety services provider of choice.
