Drinking Water Aluminium Sign for staff, visitors and contractors in indoor or outdoor premises where approved drinking water points must be easy to identify and use confidently.
This Drinking Water Aluminium Sign identifies safe drinking water points using the recognised tap, glass and water symbol. It helps staff, visitors and contractors find approved water sources quickly in workplaces, hospitality settings, schools and public buildings, reducing doubt at taps and refill points.
Best Places To Position This Drinking Water Aluminium Sign
You should install this sign directly above or beside approved drinking water taps, dispensers and refill points, where people naturally pause before drinking. Clear positioning helps you remove doubt before anyone uses the water source.
Viewing Distance Guidance
For normal workplace and public-building use, place the sign at eye level where it can be seen before someone reaches the tap. A 250 x 300mm sign is suited to close-range decisions from around 3–8 metres.
| Available size | Typical clear viewing range | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| H 250 x W 300mm | Approx. 3–8 metres | Taps, refill points, welfare rooms, catering areas and public access spaces |
