Construction sites, industrial warehouses, sports stadiums, large public event venues

Which Material Should I Choose?
Aluminium Composite: Best for permanent indoor or outdoor signage and locations requiring a rigid, durable sign.

Why this sign: A Stretcher Point sign must be posted wherever a stretcher is kept on site so that first aiders and emergency responders can locate it without delay. It is particularly important in workplaces or venues where the risk of injury requiring manual patient transport is elevated, such as construction sites, factories, or large crowd gatherings. Rapid access to a stretcher can be critical in reducing harm to an injured person before professional medical assistance arrives.

Compliance note: In Ireland, employers must provide appropriate safety signage where hazards cannot be avoided or adequately reduced by other measures, based on the workplace risk assessment, under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007. This sign is suitable for use as part of a workplace safety-signage system where identified by that risk assessment.
