Mandatory Signs – Guiding Actions and Ensuring Safety
Mandatory signage is essential for indicating mandatory actions in any workplace or public space. These signs help to ensure the safety of employees, visitors, and customers, guiding essential behaviours such as the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), hand hygiene, or compliance with operational procedures.
Portuguese Standards and Legislation
In Portugal, the installation of mandatory signage must comply with the main safety standards and regulations:
-
Ordinance 1456-A/95 – establishes the mandatory nature of safety and health signage at work.
-
Decree-Law 141/95 – defines the general principles of signage in accordance with European Directive 92/58/EEC.
-
NP EN ISO 7010 – standardises colours, pictograms, and shapes for all safety signs.
-
SCIE / ANPC Technical Note No. 11 – guides the installation of emergency and fire-fighting signs, ensuring visibility and legibility.
Good Installation Practices
Although there is no universal mandatory height for all mandatory signs, legislation requires them to be installed in a visible and legible location, without obstacles and with adequate lighting. Here are some practical recommendations:
-
General mandatory signs: close to the point of action, at eye level (≈ 1.5 m), ensuring quick reading.
-
Signs on doors or entrances: centred at the entrance, visible before passing through, about 1.6 m high.
-
Signs near specific equipment: adapted to the operator's height (≈ 1.2–1.5 m), clearly indicating the mandatory action at the point of use.
-
Emergency or fire-fighting signs (extinguishers, hydrants): between 2.1 and 3.0 m, ensuring visibility from a distance, as per ANPC Technical Note No. 11.
Note: The indicated heights are technical recommendations based on good practices and should be adapted to the type of space, circulation, and local needs.
