signage.

Site safety boards, hoarding graphics, project signage, PPE reminders, and CDM-compliant signage packages from groundbreak to handover.

Construction sites are where safety signage gets stress-tested daily. Thousands of workers, hundreds of subcontractors, and constantly changing site conditions mean signage has to be unmissable, durable, and updated as the project moves through its phases. Get it wrong and you're staring down enforcement notices and project delays.

Direct Signs has supplied site signage to UK construction principal contractors — Balfour Beatty, Kier, Galliford Try — across hundreds of projects from £5m refurbs to £1bn megaprojects. We work with health and safety managers and CDM coordinators to specify the right signage from groundbreak to handover.

Common signage we supply: Site safety boards (multi-message hoarding-mounted), CDM 2015 signage, "Hard hat must be worn" / "Hi-vis must be worn" mandatory signs, "Authorised personnel only" prohibition, deep excavation warnings, scaffold safety boards, traffic management signs, induction signage, and bespoke project boards with main-contractor branding.

Common questions

Construction sector FAQs

Do your signs meet CDM 2015 requirements?
Yes. CDM 2015 places duties on the principal contractor to manage site risks, which includes adequate signage. Our signage covers all the standard CDM site requirements: site rules, induction notices, traffic management, exclusion zones, and PPE mandatory signs.

How quickly can you ship for an emergency replacement?
Stock site signs dispatch within 1 working day. For emergency custom replacements (e.g. damaged main site board), we offer same-day production on request and overnight delivery to UK mainland.

Can you produce branded hoarding graphics?
Yes. Large-format hoarding graphics with main-contractor branding, project visualisation, and required statutory signage are a standard part of what we produce. Site survey and design service available.
