The first aid centre sign identifies the designated first aid room or treatment area in the workplace. Mount on or adjacent to the first aid room door for clear identification. The green safety format provides consistent signage that staff and visitors can follow during emergencies.
Compliance Summary: HSE guidance recommends that workplaces with a designated first aid room clearly identify it with appropriate signage. The first aid centre sign fulfils this recommendation.
Does my workplace need a first aid room?
HSE recommends a dedicated first aid room for workplaces with significant hazards, large numbers of employees, or sites remote from emergency medical services. The room should contain a treatment couch, hand washing facilities, and appropriate first aid equipment.
Where should this sign be positioned?
Mount on the first aid room door or on the wall immediately adjacent to the door. The sign should be visible from the corridor approach direction. Supplement with directional signs at corridor junctions guiding people to the first aid centre.
