The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 make one thing clear: employers must provide and maintain safety signage wherever significant risks remain – even after other controls are in place.
Standard safety signs cover the basics, but what happens when your site has a unique hazard, a process-specific instruction, or a safety message that doesn’t fit a pre-printed design? That’s when customised safety signs become essential.
A customised safety sign takes the principles of standard safety signage - consistent colours, clear symbols, easy-to-read wording - and adapts them to your exact needs. All our designs follow best practice guidelines, including the internationally recognised ISO 7010 standard, to ensure your customised safety signs are compliant, effective, and instantly understood.
With customised safety signs, you can choose:
The result is a professional, durable, and compliant safety sign that makes your message clear and specific - whatever the environment.
It’s a common misconception that ‘custom’ means expensive. In reality, customised safety signs are relatively inexpensive, simple to order, and quick to produce.
There is often a small uplift in cost, but here’s why:
The uplift in cost benefits you. Ordering a modest quantity, or mixing multiple designs in the same run, is where modern digital printing technologies make customised safety signs comparable in price to standard ones.
When you weigh in the additional benefits - such as clearer communication, better compliance, reinforcement of your brand values, and the prevention of costly accidents - customised safety signs often represent the smarter investment.
We’ve helped businesses across the UK improve workplace safety with customised safety signs, including:
Across these sectors, one challenge stands out: how to convey specific and nuanced safety messages without overwhelming people with too many individual signs. That’s where multi-message safety signs are so effective.
By combining two or more messages into a single, well-designed board, you avoid sign ‘blindness’ while ensuring the most important instructions are noticed and followed.
At SafetyBuyer, we’re experienced in creating customised and multi-message safety signs that strike the right balance - delivering compliance, clarity, and professional presentation. The thoughtful use of these solutions makes a big difference to how well safety messages are understood and acted upon.

Customised safety signs aren’t always mandatory, but under the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996, employers must display signage where risks remain. If a standard sign doesn’t cover your hazard, a customised safety sign ensures you meet your legal duty.
