I you’re not going to make them yourself, I suppose you could get them here http://www.safetysignsonline.co.uk/ also gives you a price to work to if needed

Sorry Peter , my mistake…….
i did want to produce them myself
i don’t think it’ll be copyrighted stuff
therefore thinking they must be available somewhere
i may be wrong though !! -
Hi SD,
We purchased a disk from Impact –
http://www.impactgs.co.uk/impact_safety.htm
Seems to have most signs needed. We sell bucket loads of this type of sign and therefore screenprint them. (mod-edit) admin@uksingboards.com
Cheers

Maybe you can use one of these fonts and modify them if neccessary.

Hope that helps.

The Health & Safety (Safety Signs & Signals) Regulations 1996 is what helath and safety advisors need to know regarding the specification of signs. All UK sourced signs should meet this requirement. The bottom line is that every sign should have a pictogram so that non english speakers will have an idea what the sign is telling them.
Specification for safety signs can be found in BS 5499:1 2002. It should be possible to look at a copy in the reference section of a library.
The BS mentions Helvetica Medium font. There don’t appear to be any size specifications, but the text should be clear and legible. There is too much information to retype here in the few minutes I have spare.
