Kitchen Signs

Kitchen Safety Signs are clear, durable notices used to communicate essential food safety and hygiene rules in professional kitchens. This range covers handwashing reminders, raw and cooked meat storage guidance, sink and food prep area designations, and equipment safety warnings. Ideal for restaurants, cafes, hotels, takeaways and canteens, these signs support staff training and daily compliance. Highly visible and easy to read, they help prevent cross-contamination, accidents and food safety breaches in busy Irish hospitality environments.

• Handwashing and hygiene signs, including wash hands symbols and Now Wash Your Hands reminders for staff areas and wash stations.
• Food storage and segregation signs such as Raw Meat Must Be Stored Below Cooked Meat and Do Not Store Raw And Cooked Food Together.
• Area and sink designation signs including Food Preparation Area, Raw Food Only, Veg and Salad Only, Food Wash Only and Utensil Wash Only.
• Equipment and temperature safety notices like Caution Hot Surface, Caution Very Hot Water and Deep Fat Fryer Safety guidance.
• Regulatory and guidance boards including Food Safety Act and cook-chill guideline signs to support documented compliance.
• Hard-wearing, easy-clean materials designed to stay legible in high-traffic, high-moisture commercial kitchen environments.

How to choose the right Kitchen Safety Signs

• Identify all critical control points in your kitchen, including handwash stations, prep benches, sinks, fridges, freezers and cooking equipment, then select signs to cover each area.
• Check local food safety and HACCP requirements to ensure you have the correct guidance boards, such as Food Safety Act and cook-chill information signs.
• Choose clear, simple wording and strong symbols so messages are instantly understood by all staff, including new or multilingual teams.
• Consider sign size and placement so they are visible from working distance without cluttering walls, doors or equipment fronts.
• Match materials and fixings to your surfaces and conditions, ensuring signs are resistant to steam, splashes, cleaning chemicals and heat.
• Use colour coding and consistent styles across your site to make raw, cooked, allergen and cleaning zones easy to recognise at a glance.

Care and maintenance

• Wipe signs regularly with a soft cloth and mild detergent to keep them clean and legible, avoiding abrasive pads that may scratch the surface.
• Inspect signs frequently for fading, peeling edges or damage and replace any that are no longer clear or securely fixed.
• Ensure signs are not obstructed by shelving, notices or equipment and reposition them if new layouts block visibility.
• After deep cleans or redecorating, confirm all Kitchen Safety Signs are still in the correct locations and firmly reattached.
• Include sign checks in your routine food safety audits so any missing or outdated information is picked up quickly.
• Train staff to report damaged or unclear signage immediately so you can maintain consistent safety communication.
