What we provide for you

Signage design

During an OSH audit we find out where signage is missing and propose specific signs.

If your OSH technician or fire protection technician is provided by us, they keep an eye on signage during inspections.

Fire extinguishers

Together with the signs, we can also supply fire extinguishers and arrange their inspection.

Frequently asked questions about safety signs

Is safety signage at the workplace mandatory?

Yes. The employer must provide safety and health signs wherever a risk cannot be eliminated or sufficiently reduced by other measures (Government Regulation No. 387/2006 Coll.).

What colours and shapes do safety signs have?

Prohibition signs are circular with a red border and bar, warning signs triangular with a yellow background, mandatory signs circular with a blue background, and emergency (green) and fire (red) signs are both square or rectangular.

Is a plastic sign or a sticker better?

A plastic sign lasts longer and is also suitable outdoors. A sticker is practical for smooth surfaces, doors, machines and switchboards. Both are made from lightfast, abrasion-resistant materials.

Where can I buy safety signs?

At our branches in Košice (Kmeťova 15) and Vranov nad Topľou (Čemernianska 203) or in our e-shop shop.haspo.sk.

Can you help determine what signage we need?

Yes. During an OSH audit or a regular workplace inspection, our technician will tell you where signage is missing, and we can supply the signs straight away.
