Service Description: The Isle of Wight Council carries out regular inspections on local businesses and business premises to ensure that health and safety legislation is complied with, and that safe and healthy working conditions are provided for all employees and visitors.
Answer: Wherever there is a risk that has not been avoided or controlled by other means (e.g. by engineering controls and safe systems of work), employers are required to provide specific safety signs. Where a safety sign would not help to reduce that risk, or where the risk is not significant, there is no need to provide a sign.
