In recent months, the UK government has taken steps to tighten regulations around the sale of high-caffeine energy drinks. A new law has been proposed that would ban the sale of such drinks to anyone under the age of 16. The move is designed to protect young people from the potential health risks linked to these highly caffeinated products. What the Law CoversThe ban would apply to energy drinks that contain more than 150 mg of caffeine per litre. This includes many well-known brands sold in convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants, and even online. Retailers of all sizes—from small corner shops to major chains—would be required to comply. Importantly, the law does not cover regular soft drinks, tea, or coffee, as these typically contain much lower levels of caffeine. Energy drinks are popular among teenagers, but health experts have long raised concerns about their effects on young people. The government’s consultation paper highlights that children who regularly consu...>>> READ MORE >>>

1. Regulatory Compliance One of the primary reasons to have safety signs professionally printed is to ensure compliance with UK laws. The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 require that specific safety signs be used in workplaces to prevent accidents and injuries. Caledonia Signs understand these requirements and ensure your signs meet legal standards, including adherence to the BS EN ISO 7010 format for safety symbols. Adhering to the BS EN ISO 7010 format is crucial because it ensures safety signs are universally recognised and understood. The standard uses clearly defined symbols that have been tested for visibility and comprehension, making them effective even in high-stress situations or for individuals who do not speak the local language. This helps prevent accidents by enabling quick and correct responses to potential hazards. Many "pop up printers" don't fully understand the importance of ISO 7010. From a legal standpoint, compliance with ISO 7...>>> READ MORE >>>

Take action! New signage to help prevent the spread of bird flu outbreaks across the UK With a growing number of reports relating to avian influenza outbreaks across the UK, biosecurity and disease prevention have become a growing concern for many businesses - particularly those in the farming, agriculture, and park / recreation industries. Although transmission to humans is currently low and primarily involves people in frequent contact with birds and poultry, it is important to be aware of the risks and to take the necessary precautions to minimise those risks. Inside is a range of signs and products which can help educate, inform and advise, and to encourage best practice in terms of hygiene and safety. Avian Influenza primarily affects birds, however some strains can infect other animals, including domestic pets such as cats and dogs, especially if they come into contact with infected birds or contaminated environments. Exposure to environments contaminated wit...>>> READ MORE >>>

The past decade has been the warmest on record, and the climate emergency we face is more pressing than ever. Without immediate and significant action, we will continue to witness devastating consequences: rising temperatures, melting icecaps, and escalating wildfires. Recycling is a key element of the circular economy, crucial for conserving our planet's resources. Every year, recycling the "Seventh Resource" (recyclables) prevents over 700 million tonnes of CO2 emissions, a figure that is projected to rise to 1 billion tonnes in just five years. Global Recycling Day: March 18, 2025Global Recycling Day, observed annually on March 18, carries a powerful mission: 1. To urge world leaders to recognise the climate emergency as a global issue, demanding a unified, global approach to recycling. 2. To encourage individuals around the world to think of resources, not waste, when it comes to the goods we use every day. Our Commitment at Caledonia Signs At Caledonia Signs, we ar...>>> READ MORE >>>
