Xylem is a pioneering water technology company focused on addressing the world’s water, wastewater, and energy needs through innovative and intelligent technology. From the collection and distribution of water, to its reuse and return to nature, Xylem’s highly-efficient technological water solutions use less energy, reduce the cost of life-cycles, and promote sustainability.

Xylem have utilised the length and breadth of our product range within their business to increase awareness, aid staff and visitor safety and make sure each and every area of the business is meeting and exceeding government regulations for signage and display in high-traffic and operation areas. Most recently they installed custom warehouse and production area safety signage in their forklift area.

THE BRIEF

Effective Safety Signage

Large-scale operation areas such as manufacturing, warehousing and distribution centres are known for their high-risk environments in safety management. The additional workplace hazards of working in such close proximity to heavy goods, machinery and places of height for storage call for additional safety regulations and signage to be clearly visible, all to aid in the reduction of injury, accident or near misses.

Xylem was looking to add additional safety measures to their production area following an installation earlier in the year for their forklift area which also acts as an on-foot entrance and reception for workers and visitors to the operations area.

As with all health & safety, directional, and site signage, it needs to be clearly visible, suitably branded to your business and highlight the need for extra awareness and precautions in the area. ACM (Aluminium Composite Material) is a fitting material for hard-wearing, high-foot traffic areas such like this that need long-term signage installations. It can be cut to any size, easily drilled and fixed in place to a range of surfaces. You can see here it has been drilled and mounted to metal external fencing, building cladding as well as internal walls. 

Your ACM safety signage is then faced with a long-lasting printed vinyl application which is laminated to give you either a 1, 5 or 7-year guarantee. This variety allows you to assess how long the signage needs to be in place if you have any upcoming plans to refresh your branding or vision, as well as be assured your sign is going to look great for years to come. As the ACM will always outlive its vinyl application, it means you can re-face your signage time and time again without having to replace everything.

You can see from the images in this blog the extent Xylem have gone to to make sure all areas of the production area are suitably sign-posted and marked out with key information, racking location letters as well as the associated safety requirements for those spaces.

In the areas visitors can access, we also installed new ACM directional signage for the visitor toliet's, and window graphics branded in the Xylem colours.
