With the new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) where CCTV is in operation, you must display signage that advises people of recordings. Signage must be visible and as such can also be viewed as a deterrent. So how can signage help you comply?

Here’s our quick guide:

• Inform
  Signage must be clear, informative and with contact details. Here at BEL Signs, we offer a bespoke service, where signage can be branded with your logo and additional company details all exacting to your requirements.
  Signage can also be made to suit your space, whether external or internal, on a variety of materials. Surveillance signs can be fitted onto existing walls or posts. However, we can also provide an installation service placing site-specific posts for signage or fixtures. Arranging a site visit with our signage experts can help with the hassle and any confusion, offering our expertise.
• Context
  Sizing is important and dependent upon where the signage is being placed and how it needs to be viewed. Contact details must be legible and therefore at an appropriate size and clearly visible so safety must also be considered. For example we manufacture and install car-parking signage in many Horsham locations, find out more here
• Is Everyone Aware
  Do you have a justification to be monitoring a space or people? In addition to a reason for storing the data and monitoring it. You must have grounds for doing both and be using the recordings for intended purposes.
  Be sure to set-up your contact with all the relevant information, perhaps a dedicated email address. Ensure all staff are made aware of GDPR regulations and then who and how people can make contact with the operator, should they wish too as individuals have the right to request a copy of the footage, as do the police. These details can be printed on signage, or we can put together a design with everything listed in a clean format.

• Coverage
  Remember it’s not just the public that needs to made aware but your staff too may be monitored by CCTV so they too should be informed. Signage for these can differ in tone and look, but should always conform.

Health and Safety Regulations requires employers to ensure signage is not only provided but also maintained where there is risk. Obviously signage is designed to warn and instruct but with so many types of signage covering all types of workplace along with a variety of legislation, health and safety signage can seem overwhelming.

Here at BEL Signs we have over 40 years experience in signage, not only can we advise on which type of signage you would need, but also offer a site visit with consultation to help your business comply. Size of signage can depend on location and position. We also offer specialist signage such as tactile signs for the visually impaired.

 

Health and Safety signage needs to be considered for issues in any workplace, including healthcare, schools, construction, agriculture and hospitality industry, for placement in offices, restaurants and events. Being clear, using recognised symbols that are easily understood in the right colour and shape. BEL Signs manufacture a huge range of standard and bespoke signs that can be supplied or installed on site.

 

Working outdoors or with potential hazards you may also need high visibility clothing and work wear. Our sister company Appliedfx offers a large range of Hi-vis clothing conforming to industry standards and which can improve worker visibility during the day, in low-light conditions, and at night. Items such as jackets, fleeces, waistcoats, tabards, polos and overtrousers in fluorescent yellow-green, fluorescent orange-red and fluorescent red with reflective bands. We specialise in adding your logo or branding with embroidery, badges or as a transfer and we can also personalised items with names. In addition we also offer a signwriting service to fit Chapter 8 kits onto vehicles working on highways. These can cover the rear, side, tailgate and doors on vans, cars and trucks.

It looks grey outside and all you have to look at are your magnolia office walls.
But what would you like to look at?
Perhaps a panoramic view of where you were on holiday, looking out at the coast of Australia?

Large format printing like this has endless possibilities, all you need is a high-resolution image and BEL Signs can design, print and install.

If your business is in the travel industry you could print a sunny holiday destination to inspire your agents, if you are a veterinary surgery you could have a Labrador running along your reception wall, if you’re a local café perhaps something tempting like a table full of cakes to encourage your clients to order more!

Incorporate an idea fitting to your brand and your business space can be something to look at, start a conversation and begin to feel bespoke and inspiring. Here at BEL Signs our designer can generate some ideas and images, or you may have a photo you have taken, perhaps a collection including an inspirational quote so the digital print can then feel personal to you.

What would you like printed for your wall?

Happy New Year to you and welcome to 2018!

Does 2018 see you start a new venture and set-up a business?
Or looking at your business, does it feel a little tired?

Here at BEL Signs, a simple idea or just a space for signage can lead to great ideas for helping your business stand out and with our industry knowledge of over 40 years we can help.

Quite often our clients have a space for signage and visit us with a basic requirement. For example, a local fashion business in the centre of Horsham town needed signage on a budget. A simple solution – a black fascia with striking bright green cut 3D acrylic lettering. The name immediately makes a big visual impact. The colour is then carried onto the interior walls to continuing the branding.

BEL then offer further solutions to brand and advertise, from shop window decals to sign writing the business vehicle and having staff uniform embroidered.

Our aim, to make the business stand out, get noticed and make the impact it needs to attract attention and stand out from the crowd.

With our full service solutions, it isn’t just signage that we can help you with, but promotional print and website solutions too.

So a New Year starts and perhaps a new business relationship, simply ask, what we can do for you?

A recent project for the RSPCA saw BEL Signs manufacture and install fascia signs for their shop in Bognor Regis. On this occasion the design was supplied but in many cases, we undertake full design and manufacture meaning less work for the client to worry about.

The RSPCA Fascia sign was made by cutting the lettering and logos from self adhesive vinyl which was applied to an ACM panel (Aluminium Composite Material). This material is both strong and lightweight so ideal for shop signs,  fascias and free standing or wall mounted signs.

The outside of your building is often a great place to promote you and your company’s services to a wider audience. Passing traffic and pedestrians can all view the message or product advertised and once installed, the sign will keep working all year round. The latest company we have provided a Wall sign for is Supafit Carpets of Horsham. Their building occupies a prominent position on the junction of Redkiln Way and Blatchford Road and is an ideal spot for a large wall mounted sign as many people pass it daily.

The sign itself is graphics based and digitally printed in full colour. The printed media is then adhered to an ACM panel (Aluminium Composite Material) which is robust and weatherproof.

For more information about signs and fascias contact us at BEL Signs by calling 01403 255442

Do you have a sign that needs replacing? At BEL signs we provide a replacement signs and we can match and replace any sign you have or simply add graphics to update an existing one. Whether you have a free standing sign that is damaged and needs replacing or a site sign with dated information we can help. Projects we have worked on include…

• Directional and finger signs

Whatever your business, chances are you’ll have a car or van out on the road or perhaps even a fleet of them. Here’s where vehicle signwriting can really work to advertise your company to a wider audience. Whether it be simple cad cut graphics or a more eye catching digital design, vehicle signwriting works 24 hours a day…7 days a week.

 

For example. Think about all the places you’ve driven to and from this week. Imagine how many people you’ve driven by or how many cars you’ve been past. All these people are potential customers and they would have seen your company name and even perhaps had a chance to see what services you provide..all be it fleetingly.

 

This is where a well designed vehicle graphic design and good marketing strategy can really get your business noticed.
