Mandatory & Safety Signage
Mandatory Signage for Warrington and North West Businesses
Every workplace has a legal duty to display the correct safety signage — but getting it right means more than sticking a few stock signs on the wall. iBrand Signs designs, manufactures and installs mandatory and safety signage that meets UK regulations, suits your premises, and still looks like part of your brand rather than an afterthought.
From fire escape routes and hazard warnings to PPE requirements and site-specific compliance signs, we help businesses across Warrington, Cheshire and the North West stay safe, stay legal, and stay consistent.

Our Mandatory & Safety Signage Process
Site Survey & Compliance Review
We visit your site (or work from your floor plans) to map out exactly where mandatory signage is required, cross-checking against current regulations and your existing fire risk assessment.
Design & Specification
Every sign is designed to the correct pictogram standards (ISO 7010) while being adapted to fit your brand colours and materials where regulations allow, so safety signage looks considered, not bolted on.
Manufacture
We produce signage in a range of durable materials suited to indoor or outdoor use, including rigid PVC, aluminium composite, photoluminescent (glow-in-the-dark) materials for emergency routes, and self-adhesive vinyl for glazing and doors.
Installation
Our team installs signage at the correct height and positioning for visibility and compliance, with minimal disruption to your working day.

- Warehouses, factories and logistics sites
- Construction and trade premises
- Office interior signage, retail units and hospitality venues
- Schools, healthcare and public buildings
- Multi-tenant buildings and managed workspaces
Frequently Asked Questions
Is mandatory safety signage a legal requirement?
Yes. UK employers have a legal duty under health and safety legislation to provide appropriate signage where risks cannot be controlled by other means including fire safety, hazard warnings and PPE requirements.
Can safety signage match our brand colours?
In most cases, yes. While certain symbols, shapes and colours (such as red for prohibition or yellow for warning) are mandated by ISO 7010 standards, the surrounding design, materials and finishes can often be adapted to suit your wider signage scheme.
How long does installation take?
Most single-site surveys, design approvals and installations are completed within 1-2 weeks, depending on the number of signs required and site access.
Do you offer photoluminescent or glow-in-the-dark signage?
Yes. iBrand Signs supply photoluminescent signage for fire exit routes and emergency lighting compliance, which is particularly important for larger or multi-floor premises.
Can you carry out a free signage audit?
Yes, iBrand offer a free initial site review to identify any gaps in your current mandatory signage before quoting for design and installation.
