Take a look around the next time you walk down the street and simply count the number of signs you see. We don't often notice how many signs surround us on a given day or how much we rely on signs to get where we're going, manage our errands and stay safe.
But signs play an important — actually, a vital role in how we live life. Without signs, cars would drive wherever they pleased, you wouldn't know what time the bank opened or closed and you certainly wouldn't be able to find the lavatory when you needed it.
The same goes for your office. Health and safety signs, hygiene signs and parking signs make your office run more smoothly and keep everyone safe, clean and healthy. And when you think about it, you need signs for all kinds of purposes in your office.
Let's take a walk through your office and count the signs you need. We start in the parking lot. Parking signs can indicate where the boss parks, where disabled employees or clients can park, and the name of your company. Signs on your door let people know they've arrived at the correct location. Lobby signs direct customers and clients where to go. Safety signs warn patrons not to slip on a wet floor or indicate when a lift isn't operational. Hygiene signs direct people to the lavatories and remind them to wash up afterwards (crucial in a food service setting as well as an office).
Depending on your work environment, you may need additional safety signs alerting people to wear protective gear, to eliminate smoking materials or to put on special equipment. Food service vendors may want to include signs warning of hot surfaces or prohibiting animals from the premises. And every office needs signs pointing to first aid kits and fire extinguishers.
Imagine, if you can, a world without signs. The result isn't pretty. Then, contact Office1Web for all your healthy and safety, hygiene and parking sign needs.
