How Much Do Safety Signs Cost in Kenya?
The price of a safety sign depends mainly on its size, the material and how many you need. We quote every order so you pay for the size and material your location needs, and nothing more.
| What affects the price | How it works |
|---|---|
| Sign size | Larger signs use more material and print. A sign viewed from across a warehouse needs to be bigger than one on an office door. |
| Material | Self-adhesive vinyl costs less than a rigid panel. Photoluminescent and reflective finishes cost more than standard printed vinyl. |
| Quantity | Signs are priced per piece. Whole-building and bulk orders are quoted together as one project. |
| Sign type & artwork | Standard signs use our existing artwork. Custom signs with your own wording, logo or site-specific hazards need new artwork. |
| Evacuation plans | Designed from your sketch or floor plan. A design fee applies. |
| Installation | Optional and charged separately, based on the number of signs, the fixing method and the location. |
| Delivery | Available in Nairobi and countrywide. The cost depends on the destination and is shown in your quote. |
For general signage costs, see our guide: how much signage costs in Nairobi.
Which Material Should You Choose?
The right material depends on where the sign will go: indoors or outdoors, in direct sun, in a dark corridor, or on a surface that gets cleaned or knocked.
| Material | Typical use | Where | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminium composite panel (ACP / Alucobond) | Rigid signs such as fire assembly points, yard and site signs, fuel stations, plant rooms | Indoor & outdoor | A rigid panel with a printed vinyl face. Needs fixing to a wall, post or frame. |
| Acrylic (plexiglass) | Offices, receptions, hotels and anywhere a neater finish matters | Mainly indoor | Clean, glossy finish. Can crack if struck hard, so it suits protected walls and doors. |
| Flute board (Correx) | Temporary and short-term signs: construction phases, events, interim signage | Indoor & short-term outdoor | Light and low cost. Best for temporary use rather than permanent signs. |
| Self-adhesive vinyl | Stickers applied directly to walls, doors, glass, machines and equipment | Indoor, or outdoor with a suitable vinyl | The surface must be clean, dry and smooth for the sticker to hold. See our vinyl sticker printing. |
| Photoluminescent (glow-in-the-dark) vinyl | Fire exit and escape route signs, fire equipment signs in areas that can go dark | Indoor | Glows after it has been charged by light. How bright it glows and for how long depends on the material grade and how much light it receives. |
| Reflective vinyl | Car parks, yards, driveways and construction sites where signs are seen in headlights or torchlight | Outdoor | Reflects light shone on it. It does not glow on its own. We also make road and traffic signs. |
| Engraved brass | Premium plates, e.g. no smoking signs in hotels, boardrooms and executive offices | Indoor | Engraved rather than printed. See our engraved plaques. |
Fire Safety Signs
Fire safety signs show people where the exits are, where fire-fighting equipment is kept, what to do when the alarm sounds, and where to gather once they are outside.
Fire Extinguisher Signs
Mark each extinguisher and its type (water, foam, dry powder, CO₂) so the right one is used.
Fire Hose Reel Signs
Identify hose reel locations so they can be found quickly.
Fire Exit Signs
Exit signs and direction arrows along escape routes, including photoluminescent versions.
Fire Action Signs
Notices telling people what to do if they discover a fire or hear the alarm, with your emergency numbers.
Fire Assembly Point Signs
Outdoor signs that mark where everyone gathers, usually on a rigid panel fixed to a wall or post.
Fire Alarm Signs
Mark manual call points so anyone can raise the alarm.
Fire Door Signs
“Fire door keep shut” and “keep clear” signs for doors that must stay closed or unobstructed.
Fire Equipment Signs
Signs for fire points and other fire-fighting equipment, placed where people will look for them.
Fire Evacuation Plans & Escape Route Maps
Send us a sketch or floor plan of your building and we’ll design a clear evacuation plan for each floor or wing, then print it on the material you choose. A design fee applies.
A plan can show:
- Escape routes and the direction to travel
- Emergency exits
- Fire extinguishers, hose reels and alarm call points
- The assembly point
- A “You are here” marker
- Emergency contacts and fire action instructions
Kenya’s workplace safety rules
Kenya’s Occupational Safety and Health Act, 2007 (OSHA) makes the occupier responsible for safety at the workplace, and workplaces are inspected by the Directorate of Occupational Safety and Health Services (DOSHS).
The Factories and Other Places of Work (Fire Risk Reduction) Rules, 2007 ask workplaces to, among other things:
- mark emergency exits and escape routes
- show where fire-fighting equipment is kept
- identify an assembly point
- display no-smoking notices where smoking is prohibited
We can help you plan OSHA safety signs around these points. Your safety officer or DOSHS inspector confirms what your premises need.

Safety Signs: Frequently Asked Questions
What types of safety signs do you make in Nairobi?
We make fire safety signs, warning and hazard signs, mandatory and PPE signs, prohibition signs, emergency and first aid signs, and general workplace and facility signs. We also make custom safety signs and fire evacuation plans.
Do you make OSHA safety signs for Kenyan workplaces?
Yes. Kenya’s Occupational Safety and Health Act, 2007 (OSHA) makes occupiers responsible for workplace safety, and DOSHS inspects workplaces. We make the fire, warning, mandatory, prohibition and emergency signs that safety audits and inspections commonly call for. Send us your audit report or sign list and we’ll quote it. Your safety officer confirms which signs your premises need.
How much do safety signs cost in Kenya?
The price depends on the sign’s size, the material, the quantity and whether you need installation. We quote every order. Send us your list on WhatsApp or through the form and we’ll price it for you.
How quickly can I get safety signs?
Standard signs are ready in 24 hours. For larger or custom projects, we’ll confirm the timeline in your quote.
What material is best for outdoor safety signs?
For rigid outdoor signs such as fire assembly points, aluminium composite panel (ACP) with a printed vinyl face is a common choice. Where a sign needs to be seen in headlights, reflective vinyl helps. How long an outdoor sign lasts depends on sun and rain exposure, the vinyl and lamination used, and how it is installed. Our signage materials guide compares PVC foam, ACP, aluminium and vinyl in more detail.
Do you make custom safety signs?
Yes. We make signs in custom sizes with your own wording, logo or site-specific hazards, and we prepare the artwork for you.
Do you make photoluminescent fire exit signs?
Yes. We make fire exit and escape route signs in photoluminescent (glow-in-the-dark) vinyl. It needs to be charged by light to glow, so it works best where there is normal lighting most of the time.
Can you supply fire extinguisher and fire hose reel signs?
Yes, including extinguisher signs for each type (water, foam, dry powder and CO₂), fire hose reel signs, fire action notices, fire exit signs and assembly point signs.
Can you design fire evacuation plans?
Yes. Send us a sketch or floor plan of your building and we’ll design the evacuation plan and print it. A design fee applies.
Do you install safety signs?
Yes, in Nairobi and countrywide. Installation is charged separately and depends on the number of signs, the fixing method and the location.
Can you supply safety signs in bulk?
Yes. We handle everything from single signs to whole buildings and sites. For large orders, send a sign list or floor plans and we’ll quote the project as a whole.
Do you deliver outside Nairobi?
Yes, we deliver countrywide. The delivery cost depends on the destination and is included in your quote.
What safety signs are commonly used in factories?
Factories commonly use:
- fire exit, fire extinguisher, hose reel and assembly point signs
- PPE signs at the entrance to work areas
- machinery and electrical warnings
- chemical and flammable storage signs
- emergency stop and first aid signs
- no smoking signs
Your safety officer will know which signs your specific processes require.
What is the difference between warning, mandatory and prohibition signs?
Each type uses a different shape and colour so it can be recognised at a glance:
- Warning signs: yellow triangle with a black border. They alert you to a hazard, such as high voltage.
- Mandatory signs: blue circle. They tell you what you must do, such as wear a helmet.
- Prohibition signs: red circle with a diagonal line. They tell you what you must not do, such as smoke.
- Emergency signs: green rectangle or square. They show exits and first aid.
- Fire equipment signs: red square or rectangle. They show where fire-fighting equipment is.
