The Future of Safety Sign Systems: A SafeSign UK Distributor's Perspective
Enhancing Safety with SafeSign Photoluminescent Signage
As the UK distributor of SafeSign, we supply high-quality photoluminescent safety signs for maritime, offshore, and industrial use within the UK market. SafeSign, an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer, provides complete solutions for cruise ships, transport vessels, and industrial sites. Products include Low Location Lighting Systems (LLL), escape route signs, safety posters, anti-slip materials, and glow-in-the-dark tapes — all designed to improve visibility and s afety in low-light and hazardous areas.
Why Choose SafeSign Photoluminescent Safety Signs?
1. Clear and Easy to See in Emergencies
SafeSign’s photoluminescent signs are designed to absorb ambient light and emit a strong, consistent glow in low-light or dark conditions. This makes them an essential component of any safety system, ensuring that critical safety information, such as exit routes, fire equipment locations, and emergency procedures, remains clearly visible even during power outages or in environments with poor lighting.
The ability to 'glow in the dark' provides clear direction and guidance in emergencies when visibility is compromised. This is crucial in high-risk, and often isoated enviroments (out at sea) environments like ferries, cruise ships, and offshore platforms, where a quick and safe evacuation may be needed in low-visibility conditions with limited power supply for alternative lighting. SafeSign’s photoluminescent technology ensures that emergency exits, evacuation routes, and safety equipment are always easy to find, helping individuals navigate safely in stressful situations.
By maintaining clear visibility without relying on electrical power, SafeSign’s products offer an added layer of assurance and reliability. Making sure safety levels are kept up to standard during emergencies. These signs are designed to work easily in environments where lighting systems may fail or be intentionally dimmed, making them an indispensable tool for reducing risk and enhancing safety protocols.
2. Compliance with International Standards
All SafeSign safety signs adhere to stringent international regulations, including:
- ISO 7010: Standardised safety symbols for consistent communication.
- IMO Resolution A.1116(30): Guidelines for shipboard safety signage.
- SOLAS Chapter II-2: Fire safety requirements for maritime vessels.
These compliances ensure that SafeSign products meet the highest safety standards globally.
3. Eco-Friendly and Durable Materials
SafeSign leads the way in maritime safety signage by using PETX – a next-generation material that outperforms traditional PVC. Fully recyclable, UV-resistant, and free from halogens, PETX offers a more durable, environmentally responsible alternative.
As the official United Kingdom distributor of these safety sign products, we’re proud to supply signage that meets the growing demand for safer, greener solutions across the maritime industry. From ferries and cruise ships to commercial vessels, SafeSign’s PETX signs deliver long-lasting clarity and performance while helping operators meet sustainability targets and regulatory requirements.
For ferry operators, cruise lines, and commercial vessel fleets, this means more than just compliance – it means investing in signage that not only performs under harsh marine conditions but also supports sustainability goals. PETX signs don’t yellow or degrade like PVC over time, ensuring long-term visibility and clarity, especially critical in low-light or emergency situations.
As environmental regulations tighten across international waters, and as passenger expectations evolve—choosing SafeSign helps vessel operators stay ahead of the curve—offering safety, durability, and eco-responsibility in one certified product!
4. Innovative Manufacturing for Long-Lasting Safety Signs
SafeSign uses an advanced back-printing technique that protects the photoluminescent layer by sealing it behind a clear surface. This keeps the sign readable, bright, and effective for much longer—even in tough marine environments. Every sign comes with a self-adhesive foam backing for quick installation and a protective film to keep it clean and intact until it’s put in place.
As the UK distributor, we recognise the importance of dependable, regulation-ready signage across all sectors of the maritime industry—from passenger ferries and ports to offshore platforms and commercial shipping. SafeSign’s durable design means longer-lasting safety signs with less need for replacements—reducing maintenance and downtime while ensuring vessels meet UK maritime safety standards with confidence.
It’s a practical choice for our customers, such as operators and stakeholders, who are looking to invest in not only long-term compliance, but a product they can count on for years to come.
