School signage check “essential”

The school summer holidays may bring back memories of fun, but it also provides the perfect opportunity, according to Stocksigns, for schools to carry out a safety sign audit.

The UK signage provider has worked with schools for over sixty years and says it has built up an understanding of the unique challenges faced by teachers.

Danny Adamson, managing director for Stocksigns Group, explains: “It is essential to check that all signage is present, in good condition and conforms to current ISO 7010 legislation. While it isn’t yet a requirement to change all existing signs to the new versions, advice is not to mix signage from different legislative standards.

“Best practice recommends, if changes or additions are needed, for all signage to be updated to the most recent standard. Our survey and installation team is on hand to offer advice.”

Stocksigns has introduced some guidelines for schools to get the best from their signage. This includes using information and wayfinding to help students orientate themselves quickly, and security signs to keep the school vandalism free.

For a school safety sign audit, Stocksigns offers a full site survey and installation service. A site survey manager and installation crew can visit the school to specify complete signage needs and expertly install signs.
