Overview

If "Wear Safety Helmet" needs saying clearly, this is the sign, and wear safety helmet sign printing is what we do. It says hard hats must be worn, and you will find it in areas with overhead work, scaffolds and building sites.

Wear safety helmet sign printing: which material

There is a board for each kind of spot in our wear safety helmet sign printing range:

  • 3mm Foamex, a rigid PVC foam board that screws or sticks up easily and is happiest indoors or out for a season
  • 3mm Dibond, aluminium skins on a solid core, the one to pick for a sign that stays outside for years
  • self-adhesive vinyl, which sticks flat to smooth walls, doors, glass and machine guards

Indoors, Foamex or vinyl is plenty; for years outdoors, Dibond is the one.

What the sign says

It reads "Wear Safety Helmet". Blue circle means "you must". It is an instruction, not advice. The layout is a blue circle above a plain instruction, plus the ISO 7010 M014 symbol (wear head protection).

Where it goes

At site entrances and where the work area starts. Fix them where the rule starts, for example on the door into the area where the kit must be worn.

Sizing your wear safety helmet sign printing comes down to distance. Reading distance is worked out from the sign’s short side: about a metre for every 25 mm, the distance factor from ISO 3864-1. That makes A4 to about 8 m, A3 to about 12 m, A2 to about 17 m and A1 to about 24 m. Anything read from a distance or a moving vehicle wants the larger sizes.

Keep the instruction short. People read these in passing, often with their hands full.

The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 set the look of a "must do" sign: a blue circle with a white symbol or instruction.

Upload your own file, lay it out in the online designer, or hand it to our paid artwork service, which includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. A person gives every file a free check first. Each wear safety helmet sign printing job is printed to order and sent out from the UK. Delivery to a UK mainland address is £7.95, or free once the order passes £100 after any discount (artwork fees are not counted). The Highlands add £10, and addresses in Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Scilly or the Isle of Wight get a quote. Full details are on the delivery page.

Which size do I need?

A safety sign must be large enough to read from where people will see it. Our conservative guide, based on the distance-factor method in ISO 3864-1, is about 1 metre of viewing distance for every 25 mm of sign height (the shorter side). Use it with your own risk assessment.

SizeReadable from up to about
A4 (210 × 297 mm)8 m
A3 (297 × 420 mm)12 m
A2 (420 × 594 mm)17 m
A1 (594 × 841 mm)24 m

Well lit or internally lit signs can be read from further away; dim areas need larger signs.

Questions

Quick answers about wear safety helmet sign printing.

What size do I need so people can read "Wear Safety Helmet"?

Go by reading distance rather than wall space. In normal light, A4 (210 × 297 mm) covers 8 m, A3 (297 × 420 mm) covers 12 m, A2 (420 × 594 mm) covers 17 m and A1 (594 × 841 mm) covers 24 m. Choose one size up if people pass quickly or the area is poorly lit.

Does "Wear Safety Helmet" come with a recognised safety symbol?

It does. The pictogram is ISO 7010 M014, Wear head protection, drawn from public domain artwork and paired with the "Wear Safety Helmet" wording.

Where should the "Wear Safety Helmet" message go so people act on it?

The right place is at the site gate and where the work area begins. Check nothing will stand in front of it, like open doors, stacked stock or parked vans.

Am I legally required to display "Wear Safety Helmet"?

The format comes from the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996: a white symbol or instruction inside a blue circle, meaning something people must do. Your risk assessment is what decides the exact positions.

How do I put the Wear Safety Helmet sign up?

On smooth walls and doors, sign-fixing tape is quickest; otherwise drill the board and screw it to a wall or post. The vinyl version is self-adhesive: press it onto a clean, dry, smooth surface.

Foamex, Dibond or vinyl: which should I choose?

Ask where it is going. Outdoors or somewhere it may get knocked: Dibond aluminium composite. Smooth doors, glass or machinery: self-adhesive vinyl. Anywhere else indoors: 3mm Foamex, which is light and easy to fix.

How soon will the Wear Safety Helmet sign reach me?

Standard takes 4 working days to make, or Express 2 working days. After that, allow 1 to 3 working days with the courier; you get tracking by email. Mainland UK delivery adds £7.95 to the basket, and nothing once the goods reach £100 after any discount code.

Asked by buyers

How cheaply can I get hold of the Wear Safety Helmet Sign?

Picked the way the page first loads, with A4 (210 × 297 mm) and self-adhesive vinyl, the Wear Safety Helmet Sign comes to £5.02. Any other mix of options, a faster turnaround included, gets its own price the moment you choose it, and that figure is what you pay at checkout. Only delivery is left to add. On its own the opening price of £5.02 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

Which turnaround speeds can I choose for the Wear Safety Helmet Sign?

Allow 6 working days on Saver, 4 on Standard or 2 on Express before the Wear Safety Helmet Sign is handed to the courier, based on the options the page opens with. Weekends and bank holidays are not counted, and nothing starts until the order is paid and the artwork is confirmed. Pick another size or material and the days beside each speed update, sometimes by a day. After it leaves us, the courier normally delivers in one to three working days and you get the tracking link by email.

Which artwork services are offered with the Wear Safety Helmet Sign?

Several routes, all chosen under Artwork on this page. Send your own finished file (no charge), we set your words and logo on a tidy layout, called typesetting (£15), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. The fee is the same whatever quantity you order and shows separately in the basket. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On this page, Wear Safety Helmet Sign starts from £5.02.

Which size of the Wear Safety Helmet Sign can people read from further away?

Rough reading distances for "Wear Safety Helmet": about 8 m for A4, 12 m for A3, 17 m for A2 or 24 m for A1. The rule of thumb behind them: each 25 mm of height buys roughly one metre of distance. If the light is poor, or people pass quickly on foot or at the wheel, go for the next size up. The figures use the distance factor from ISO 3864-1, and your own risk assessment should settle the final choice. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

Which sizes can the Wear Safety Helmet Sign be printed in?

The table has 4 sizes. At the small end, A4 (210 × 297 mm) costs from £5.02; at the top, A1 (594 × 841 mm) costs from £15.12. Each figure is for the cheapest set of options at that size. Unsure? Measure where it will go and check the view from the spot people will stand. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Wear Safety Helmet Sign starts from £5.02.

Where is the best spot for a Wear Safety Helmet Sign?

Picture someone arriving at an office, a shop, a school or a club house who needs to see "Wear Safety Helmet". Fix it level with people's eyes on the way towards the hazard or area it covers, clear of doors that swing open and of stacked stock. Give it decent light and a clear line of sight, with nothing parked, stacked or swinging open in front of it. Keep a short list of where each sign went: it slots into your risk assessment records and makes the odd walk-round check quick. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

What message is a Wear Safety Helmet Sign giving?

Start with the symbol on "Wear Safety Helmet". M014 is the ISO 7010 pictogram for wear head protection, so even someone without much English gets the gist at a glance. The design follows the mandatory sign pattern (a solid blue circle), used to tell people something they have to do. That colour and shape code is laid down by the 1996 Safety Signs and Signals Regulations. Typical spots: an office, a shop, a school or a club house.

I am not a business. Can I buy just one sign?

Of course. Anyone can order, with no trade account and no minimum beyond one. Prices for the Wear Safety Helmet Sign begin at £5.02, checkout works without an account and you pay by card. Parents, clubs, churches and small shops order single items all the time. On its own the opening price of £5.02 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?

No surprises: what the page shows for this sign is the goods figure you pay at checkout. Delivery is the one extra, £7.95 to a UK mainland address, and it drops away when the goods reach £100 after discounts. Paid artwork help shows up as its own basket line, so you can check each amount before paying. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On its opening option, Wear Safety Helmet Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

Could you price an A2 (420 × 594 mm) sign for me?

From £9.33, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3mm Foamex at £42.91, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £61.17 and self-adhesive vinyl at £9.33. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On this page, Wear Safety Helmet Sign starts from £5.02.

Can I mix different safety signs in a single order?

You can. Each sign gets a separate basket line, with whatever size and board suit it, and you pay once at the end. Delivery is charged per order, not per sign: £7.95 to the UK mainland, or free once the goods come to £100 or more. For "Wear Safety Helmet" the sizes are A4, A3, A2 and A1. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

And the largest sign, A1 (594 × 841 mm): how much is that one?

From £15.12, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3mm Foamex at £63.13, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £88.40 and self-adhesive vinyl at £15.12. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On its opening option, Wear Safety Helmet Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

Our event is close. Can the Wear Safety Helmet Sign be rushed?

Yes. Choose Express and the Wear Safety Helmet Sign can be on the way in 2 working days on the opening option, for £6.68, where Saver is £5.02 and takes 6 days. Then give the courier one to three working days, and send the artwork with the order, because the clock does not run until the file is sorted. If the date is really tight, message us on the Contact page before paying and we will tell you honestly.

Can the wording on a Wear Safety Helmet Sign be changed, or our logo added?

Yes. To reword "Wear Safety Helmet" or add a logo, pick the typesetting option (£15) for your text and logo on a clean layout, or the design-from-your-brief option (£35), then send us the details. Both paid options include one first draft and two rounds of changes. Uploading your own print-ready file costs nothing, and someone on our team looks it over before printing. Leave the safety symbol and its colours untouched, though: altering them makes the meaning less clear. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Someone else is putting our file together. How does it reach you?

Easiest route: they send the finished file to whoever placed the order, and it gets uploaded after ordering. Up to 3 files of 25 MB each are fine. They can also reach us through the Contact page, as long as they quote your order number so it lands on the right job. Production waits for the checked file, so a late file means a later dispatch date. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Wear Safety Helmet Sign starts from £5.02.

How many pixels does a photo need to print well on this sign?

Close-up items need about 300 dpi at full size. So an A1 (594 × 841 mm) layout wants about 7,016 by 9,933 pixels. Keep lettering and logos as vectors if you can. An image copied off a web page or a social post rarely has enough pixels; if yours looks likely to print soft, our file check flags it. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). On this page, Wear Safety Helmet Sign starts from £5.02.

Can I send a Word or Canva file for the Wear Safety Helmet Sign?

Word, PowerPoint and Canva are a fair place to start, but export a high quality PDF from them before uploading. Our first choice is always a PDF at the ordered size with fonts embedded or outlined, followed by AI, EPS or SVG, then high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF. You can add three files, each up to 25 MB, on this page, or upload them after ordering from the email we send. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On this page, Wear Safety Helmet Sign starts from £5.02.

Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?

Yes, a real person on our team opens every uploaded file and checks the size, the bleed and the resolution. If something is off, you hear from us before anything is made. We print what you send, though, so read the spelling, numbers and dates yourself as well. Making starts when the order and the file are both confirmed. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. For reference, Wear Safety Helmet Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Does the Wear Safety Helmet Sign come in a peel-and-stick version?

It does. Pick self-adhesive vinyl from the material list and it comes as a peel-off sticker. That is handy on a glass shop door, a classroom cupboard, a machine or a smooth painted wall, anywhere screwing a board up would be awkward. Wipe the spot, let it dry, then press it down from the centre outwards to push the air away. On rough brick or dusty surfaces, a board will hold better. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. For reference, Wear Safety Helmet Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

What thickness is the Wear Safety Helmet Sign, and does it feel sturdy?

Three millimetres, whichever board you go for. Pick self-adhesive vinyl instead and you get a thin film that lies flat against whatever you stick it to. Dibond feels stiff because a plastic core is sandwiched between two thin aluminium sheets, yet it is still simple to screw or stick up. Foamex is foamed PVC, so it weighs very little in the hand. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Material choices for Wear Safety Helmet Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

We are putting up a full set of signs at our premises. Which ones sit well next to this one?

A school corridor, a shop floor or a club house rarely needs just one notice. Two that often go up beside this one: Keep to Walkways Sign and PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers. Keep every sign in one board type so the set matches, look up sizes and prices on each page, then check out once: one delivery charge for the whole basket, free over £100 of goods. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the Wear Safety Helmet Sign in the evening?

Not in pitch darkness. Pick Foamex, Dibond or vinyl sticker and it is the same story: nothing on this page reflects headlights or glows by itself. Fix it where a street light, porch light or security lamp already shines, or fit a small light above it. Where a risk assessment asks for photoluminescent or reflective signs, those need to come from a specialist maker rather than from us. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On its opening option, Wear Safety Helmet Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

Will a Wear Safety Helmet Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?

Rain is rarely the problem for "Wear Safety Helmet"; sunshine is. Every printed sign fades slowly in strong sun, so make a habit of checking outdoor ones and renew any that have faded too far. Dibond is the board to pick for a permanent outdoor home. Foamex copes with a covered spot but prefers life indoors. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

What is the easiest way to put up a Wear Safety Helmet Sign?

To mount "Wear Safety Helmet" on a wall, drill a hole near each corner of the board and screw it on with a washer under each head; stop once it feels snug, as Foamex in particular does not like being overtightened. Where drilling is not wanted, say on a painted door or a smooth wall inside, double-sided foam tape or sticky pads hold it well. For a fence, make a hole at each corner and loop cable ties through. The vinyl one needs no tools: peel off the backing and press it on once the surface has been wiped and dried. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

Where do the Wear Safety Helmet Sign and PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers differ?

Set the Wear Safety Helmet Sign beside PPE Mandatory Symbol Stickers and a few things differ. Material: self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex on this page, against self-adhesive vinyl on the other. Sizes: 4 on this page, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm), and 3 on the other, the smallest 50 × 50 mm. Opening price: £5.02 on this page and £3.63 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.

Does the material change the price of the Wear Safety Helmet Sign?

Taking the smallest size, A4 (210 × 297 mm), as the example: self-adhesive vinyl at £5.02, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £40.79 and 3mm Foamex at £27.79. Larger sizes follow a similar pattern, and the full grid sits in the size table further up the page. Think about where it is going first: a cheap material in the wrong spot can end up costing more. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On this page, Wear Safety Helmet Sign starts from £5.02.

Do we legally have to display a Wear Safety Helmet Sign?

Your risk assessment answers that one for "Wear Safety Helmet". Where it shows a risk still remains after other steps, the 1996 Safety Signs and Signals Regulations say an employer must signpost it, and that applies to a cafe with two staff as much as a factory. Signs back up the other measures you take; they are never a substitute for them. The symbol on this sign follows ISO 7010, reference M014.

Our club needs a big batch of signs, or an odd size. Can you price it?

Yes. Fill in our Get a quote page, giving the size, how many, the material, when you need it and the delivery postcode, and attach your artwork if it is ready. A price comes back to you by email. Get a quote is also how delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands gets priced. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. For reference, Wear Safety Helmet Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Next year we will want the same sign again. Is reordering easy?

Very. Choose the same product with the same options and upload the same file, and it is made again exactly as before. Save the final print file somewhere safe, as that makes a repeat order a two-minute job. Before you repeat it, read the wording again: dates, prices, opening times and contact details are the things that go out of date. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Material choices for Wear Safety Helmet Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

Can I pay for the Wear Safety Helmet Sign by card as a guest?

Yes. Guest checkout is fine, and any debit or credit card works. Stripe processes the payment for us, which keeps your card number off our system entirely. We begin making this sign once the payment has cleared and the artwork is confirmed. Large or out of the ordinary jobs can be quoted first from the Get a quote page. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Wear Safety Helmet Sign starts from £5.02.

How do I work out how many Wear Safety Helmet signs to order?

Picture someone arriving for the first time. Every door they could come through, every approach to the risk and every corner where the route bends is a place for a sign. Large sites and long corridors usually need repeats, with bigger versions where people read from a distance. Put matching signs on a single basket line and raise the quantity; different sizes or materials go on lines of their own. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On its opening option, Wear Safety Helmet Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

Who looks after me once I have bought the Wear Safety Helmet Sign?

FatPrint does, from start to finish. We take your order and payment, a person on our team checks your file, and the Wear Safety Helmet Sign is made to order for you rather than taken off a shelf. It then goes to you by courier, with tracking sent by email. Questions before or after ordering go through the box on this page or the Contact page, and a person replies.

Can I send this sign back if I no longer need it?

If it arrives faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, yes: under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 we reprint or refund. A change of mind is different. Each order is made to your specification, and reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 takes those goods out of the 14-day right to cancel. Before production starts, though, you can cancel for all your money back. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Wear Safety Helmet Sign starts from £5.02.

Do I have to register before I can buy?

There is no need to sign up. Pay as a guest with a bank card, handled securely by Stripe, and you still get an order confirmation email and a tracking email on dispatch. An account is optional; it just keeps your order history in one place. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Wear Safety Helmet Sign starts from £5.02.

I am not sure which options to pick for this sign. Can someone advise me?

Yes. Type your question into the box on this page and a real person replies. Mention where the sign will be used, how long you need it to last and the date you need it by. Answered questions may be shown on the page for other buyers, so leave personal details out of it. Private questions can go through the Contact page, and anything the options here cannot price can go through the Get a quote page. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Material choices for Wear Safety Helmet Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?

Take photos of the damage and the box it came in, then send them through the contact form within 48 hours of delivery, with your order number. Hold on to the item rather than posting it back; we reply and arrange a reprint or refund. This sits alongside your legal rights, which the returns page covers. Choose Saver and this sign leaves us after 6 working days; Express brings that down to 2. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On this page, Wear Safety Helmet Sign starts from £5.02.

Some of our visitors have poor eyesight. Will this sign be easy for them to read?

Three things help most: strong contrast between the words and the background, a plain bold font, and a size that matches how far away people will be. Our standard safety sign layouts use the high-contrast colour pairings laid down for safety signs. Mount the sign at eye height, where it is well lit and not catching glare, and keep the message short. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). For reference, Wear Safety Helmet Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Does a Wear Safety Helmet Sign come upright or wide?

"Wear Safety Helmet" is laid out in portrait format, available as A4, A3, A2 and A1. Upright layouts fit doors, posts and narrow bits of wall. Need it turned the other way? Choose one of the design options and we will rearrange it for you. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

Can I cut this sign down to size, or drill fixing holes, at home?

Yes, with ordinary tools. For Foamex or Correx, a sharp craft knife and a straight metal edge work: a few light passes, then snap or cut through. Dibond has aluminium skins and needs a fine-toothed saw. Drill slowly with a standard bit and stay at least 10 mm from any edge. Any cutting removes some of the bleed, so plan the layout with that in mind. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On this page, Wear Safety Helmet Sign starts from £5.02.

What is the safest way to clean this sign?

Treat "Wear Safety Helmet" gently: a soft cloth and soapy warm water, a rinse, then a dry. Strong cleaners, solvents and scourers can take the shine off the print or lift it, so leave them in the cupboard. Store spares flat, not leaning, to stop them bowing. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.
