traffic signs

August 11th, 2010

Traffic signs are some of the most recognisable signs as they are seen by everyone who is on the roads hundreds of times a day. With this in mind you would think its a massive market to get into, indeed they sell well but we also sell quality so they also last for years and years. All the vinyl we use is guaranteed for at least 10 years against breakage and uv fading.

The health and safety signs sould in essence be no different, when a building is used by staff or the general public a minimum amount of signs is required to keep everyone safe, so why do people tend to use cheap self adhesive stickers when a warning sign would last much longer on a material more like the traffic signs above. Exit signs, safety signs, fire safety signs, fire exit signs and general health and safty signs can all be made in this way, we can even use recycled materials which will in the long run help to neutralize everyones carbon footprint.

Magnetic Health and safety signs

July 27th, 2010

Magnetic safety signs have been a good seller this week. We have supplied both waring signs and fire safety signs using the magnetic rubber. This is a great way to cover yourself under health and safety issues without having to add stickers onto each vehicle you drive.
Traffic signs can also be made from the magnetic rubber as this can make them 100% interchangable. Exit signs, warning signs and general health and safety signs can be produced in this way, saving the customer money and hassle of re ordering evertime a vehicle is changed.
One of my customers has 20 vehicles all of which carry different chemicals from time to time, using the magnetic signs for warning signs has saved him £260.00 so far, as long as they don’t get lost of fly off on the motorway they will save him alot more money in the future. Health and safety signs don’t have to be expensive.

Safety signs

January 8th, 2010

With all the bad whether and dangerous road and walkway conditions we have been very busy with our safety signs. Warning signs for slippery and ice surfaces have been our top seller during the first week of January due to the adverse weather conditions. Traffic signs have also been very popular this month as people have been able to take stock of their current signage while it has been quiet over the christmas period.
Health and safety signage is always in the forefront of any employers mind but especially when accidents are often expected during adverse weather conditions. Fire exits are frozen up and health and safety issues become a major problem. Here at cestrian signs we are able to supply all kinds of health and safety signs which enable any employer to help keep his staff safe. Safety signs can be made up to any size in pretty much any material, exit signs can incorporate an extra bespoke message or pictorgramme and Fire safety signs can include medical emergency procedures as well as fire exit signs.
Traffic signs or temporary traffic signs are being used alot at the moment as they are a cheap and cheerful and can be moved around site easily to cover your responsibilities as an employer for the unexpected health and safety signs issues.
If you need bespoke health and safety signs at a price you can afford we can supply a cost effective solution.

Christmas Banners

November 13th, 2009

Christmas is fast approaching and the main thing of peoples mind is making the post of the christmas sprending spree. Cestrian Signs ltd have always been a very fast fast and efficient supplier not only for the basics eg fire exit signs, safty signs, traffic signs etc but also for banners. Previously banners have had vinyl letters applied which tended to fall off after a while and look very tatty, we print directly onto our banner with 4 year outdoor proof inks. Our banner is top quality 550mg and can withstand all weathers, we also use marine standard eyelets which won’t rust and caused staining on the banner.

Chester Zoo have just recently asked us to produce some large banners at their front entrance which is advertising their Christmas Festivities this year, as usually these banners are very striking and really pull in the customers. Pubs and restaurants also enjoy great curb appeal from our very reasonably priced banners, having clever wording means they can be used time and time again year after year.
As we can make the banners to any size and in any colour including full colour photographs or images the impact can be fabulous. If you want to have something temporary which has a great impact try one of our banners and we can make a bespoke banner especially for you, our prices are very reasonable and service and quality good.
We can also help with design and content without charging you advertising agency fees, charging only thirty eight pounds per hour.

Health and Safety signs coshh

October 23rd, 2009

Health and safety signs are at best a very plain but essential part of our daily life. We pride ourselves on not only producing functional signs but also well designed signs. It really doesn’t matter whether it is an exit sign, warning signs or traffic signs the design should be easy to read and ‘nice’ to look at. Recently we have been asked to produce new COSHH signs which include full colour photos, these help break the monotany of Health and Safety signs with out distracting from the message needed to be given.

Traffic signs and stations are also very popular at the moment, with the nights drawing in and visability reducing with the dark winter days these are a good warning sign to passing motorists and pedestrians. Available in two types or reflectivity these safety signs are great and comply with highways standards. New exit signs have just been erected by one of our customers in Chester whi has high volumes of traffic from the highways, these signs also included their logo, telephone and webb address, we print all thin sign information onto clear vinyl and mount onto the highly reflective warning signs. Therefore the customer keeps the health and safety signs as per regulations but also advertises their business to the fullest degree.

Traffic signs need not just be functional they can also be a good advertising tool, and an asset to any business as improves the professional look of the business as soon as the customer turns off the highway.

Fire Safety Signs

October 13th, 2009

A local school has just had a health and safety inspection by the local council and realised that all their Fire safety signs are not upto scratch. The fact that they have been in the building for the last twenty five years has of cause affected the effectivness of the signage, as has the change of use of parts of the building and re decorating and painting over of exit signs by the decorators.
It is always worth doing a health and safety survey every couple of years to check the signs to make sure they are still doing their job. The gem glow or photoluminescent signs only glow for a certain number of years before the chemical becomes inert and so exit signs, fire safety signs and general health and safety signs no longer glow in the dark, rendering them useless if a fire takes hold and the lights go out. Also new legislation means the fire exit signs must have a pictorgram where ever relevant incase the occupant can’t read english or in the case of a child can’t read at all but can follow an arrow and running man.
A basic health and safety work regualtions 1999 leaflet is available from cestrian signs ltd and safetysignsuk.co.uk for those who may find it useful.

Road and Highways Signs

October 1st, 2009

A question that we get asked over and over by our customers is when do I need to use highway regulations for my signs? The simple answer is, if its on the high way not a private road you have to have the highway standard lettering and reflectivity.
Temporary signs are best on the standard stanchions (frames) we have four main types, firstly a single sided stanchion which holds a 450mm x 600mm sign, secondly a double sided stanchion which holds two 450mm x 600mm stanchion, thirdly we have a stanchion which holds a 600mm x 600mm sign and lastly we have the large 1050mm x 750mm stanchion. These stanchions all come with clips free of charge and can hold upto a 3mm thick panel.
Luton airport used the large stanchion sign for a ’snow plough in us’ directional sign. Chester Zoo use their stanchions for guiding visitors in the busy summer months from the high way onto their car parks.

Recycled material

September 28th, 2009

Signage for schools and college. Over the last couple of months we have been inundated with requests for school signs. All of these have been free standing signs with either a full colour image or solid colour logos in bright vibrant colours which makes them feel very child friendly. With the environment in mind cestrian signs now use dibond rather than alluminium in their signs. Dibond is a white powder coated sheet material which has a recycled plastic core, nice to know that all the health and safety signs we sell, get recycled somewhere in later life. I read a paragraph in the local paper stating that if all businesses but all their safety signs in a row it would encompass the british isles 1.25 times over - now that would take some recycling!
Safety signs uk has just launched their new trade webb site, this is aimed at the basic requirements for safety signs and banners, the prices on this webb site have been held at the 2008 prices hopefully beating the current down turn but keeping our clients health and safety law requirements fulfilled. Later this month we will be offering all the local PTA’s to buy some fun, fund raising items, such as modern trasure maps which are free standing in full colour with scary pirates, secret coves and treasure to be found.
