  • Unmistakable Message: The bold text and  clear icon are impossible to miss, even from a distance.
  • Sign Panel Only: Remember, this is the sign panel; you’ll need a compatible A-frame stand to use it.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Bridge Medical Centre, a busy GP surgery in Cardiff, needed to improve its safety protocols to better align with CQC (Care Quality Commission) expectations. Their existing safety signs were worn, mismatched, and  easily overlooked by patients.

"The old signs were a bit of a mess and  looked unprofessional. These new Jantex signs are so much clearer for our patients, many of whom are elderly. It's a small change that makes a big difference to how seriously we take their safety."

David Evans – Practice Manager

The upgrade was a key factor in the centre achieving a perfect score on its subsequent health and  safety spot-check, demonstrating clear and  effective risk management.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Simply slot the sign panel into a compatible A-frame floor stand (sold separately).
  • Ensure the sign is fitted securely within the stand’s grooves before placing it down.
  • Position the stand in a highly visible location, well ahead of the actual hazard area.
  • Make sure it doesn't block a fire exit or create a different kind of obstruction.

Keeping It Going

  • Regularly wipe the sign with a damp cloth and  a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or scouring pads as they can damage the printed surface.
  • Store the sign flat or upright in a dry place when not in use to prevent damage or warping.
  • Check periodically for any cracks or fading and  replace if the message is no longer clear.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Safety Signage

Not sure which safety sign you need? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Visibility is Everything

Choose signs with bold, universally understood symbols and  clear text. Bright colours like yellow are industry standard for caution and  warning signs.

Placement is Key

You need different signs for different risks. Use A-frames like this for temporary hazards and  fixed wall signs for permanent rules like 'Fire Exit' or 'Staff Only'.

Material Matters

Polypropylene is ideal for portable floor signs as it's durable, light, and  easy to clean. For permanent wall signs, rigid PVC or self-adhesive vinyl is often a better choice.

Embrace Colour Coding

Using a colour-coded system for your cleaning equipment and  signage is a mark of professionalism. It’s the best way to prevent cross-contamination between different areas.

Know Your Obligations

Make sure your signage helps you comply with Health and  Safety Executive (HSE) rules. Displaying a clear commercial wet floor sign is a basic legal requirement during cleaning.

Why Colour-Coded Cleaning Matters

Ever wondered what 'colour-coded' really means in a professional setting? It's a simple but brilliant system to stop the spread of germs. Different cleaning tasks and  areas are assigned a colour: for example, blue for general areas, green for kitchens, red for washrooms, and  yellow for clinical spaces. You would never want a cloth used for the toilet to end up near food preparation areas, and  colour-coding prevents this mix-up.

This 'Cleaning in Progress' sign is part of that bigger picture. While its background is white for maximum clarity, it's designed to be used within this professional framework. Using designated signs like this one, alongside coloured cloths, mops, and  buckets, shows your staff and  inspectors that you're committed to the highest standards of hygiene and  are actively preventing cross-contamination. It’s a mark of a truly professional operation.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Cafés: Essential for warning customers about freshly mopped floors in dining and  washroom areas.
  • Hotels & Guest Houses: Perfect for keeping lobbies, corridors, and  guest bathrooms safe during daily cleaning routines.
  • Offices & Receptions: A must-have to prevent staff and  visitor accidents in high-traffic communal areas and  kitchens.
  • Schools & Nurseries: Crucial for protecting pupils and  staff from slips in hallways after spills or cleaning tasks.
