Sustainability meets stability.
The SafeGuard-R Safety Sign is SYR’s most forward-thinking floor safety solution yet—bringing together sustainable materials, practical innovation, and proven safety principles in one simple, effective product.
Made from 100% recycled polypropylene, the SafeGuard-R is engineered with longevity and the planet in mind. It reduces environmental impact without compromising on durability, making it ideal for businesses looking to improve their sustainability credentials while keeping public and staff safety top of mind.
Built for visibility, and built to last.
Unlike printed signs that fade over time, the SafeGuard-R uses injection moulded printing for high-definition warning symbols that won’t wear away. It’s a smart choice for facilities where signs are regularly cleaned, handled, or exposed to moisture.
The innovation is in the clip.
What really sets the SafeGuard-R apart is its clip-top design, which prevents the sign from collapsing when knocked or nudged. Traditional A-frame signs are prone to tipping over or folding flat under footfall or drafty corridors, potentially creating more of a trip hazard than they solve. The SafeGuard-R’s unique clip mechanism keeps it securely locked in place when open, enhancing visibility and stability.
Why safety signs still matter.
Slips and trips are still one of the most common causes of injury in the workplace, both in the UK and worldwide. And while no sign alone can prevent an accident, clear and visible signage is still one of the most effective ways to:
> Alert pedestrians to wet or recently cleaned floors
> Prevent foot traffic from entering high-risk areas
> Demonstrate a duty of care and help reduce liability
> Support good communication during cleaning operations
Even with barriers and floor closures, safety signs serve as an essential visual warning, especially when dealing with contaminants that may not be immediately visible, like water, soap, grease, or polish.
