Site signs

Pick a sign (fire, access, hazards, protective equipment, welfare) and click on the plan to place it. Each gets its own number, such as FE-01. Routes and zones (vehicle and pedestrian routes, public areas, exclusion zones) are drawn the same way, and a live legend lists them all.

Why you would use it

To lay out a site safety or logistics plan with signs that carry a number, a place, a person and an inspection date, and to count them without typing a count.

For example

What to do

1. Open Site signs and pick a sign, or choose the Site sign tool.
2. Click the plan to place one; click again for the next. Escape stops.
3. For a route or a zone, pick it under Routes and zones, click round the way it goes or the area it covers, and finish with a right-click.
4. Place a live legend: drag its corners to resize it (the lettering and columns fit the box) and double-click it for its options.
5. Open the Site sign register to fill in place, responsible person and dates, or to save it as a spreadsheet.

Going further

The pictures are drawn for this program in the usual British colours (red for fire equipment and prohibitions, a yellow triangle for warnings, blue for instructions and site logistics, green for escape and aid), so they read at a glance. They’re plan symbols, not the statutory signs you fix to a wall: check what’s displayed against the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 and BS EN ISO 7010. Every sign also carries its number and its name, so a plan never relies on the picture alone. A sign is a mark like a stamp: it moves, resizes, copies, undoes and exports like one, and is never counted in a take-off. Counts and the legend come from the signs that are placed.
