Toilet Signs

Toilet signs, also known as restroom signs or WC signage, are visual indicators designed to help people locate and identify toilet facilities in public or workplace settings. These signs typically display universal symbols like a male or female figure to denote gender-specific restrooms and symbols representing accessibility for individuals with disabilities. In the UK, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) sets guidelines regarding displaying such signs to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals in various establishments.

The Health and Safety (Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 in the UK specifically mandates the display of relevant toilet signs in workplaces, public buildings, and other facilities. These regulations emphasise the importance of clear, conspicuous signage to ensure that toilet facilities are easily located and accessible to all individuals. By displaying appropriate toilet signs, businesses and organisations fulfil their legal obligation to provide essential information and support the health and safety of employees, customers, and visitors.
