Antimicrobial Signage - A Case Study - Client: Oxford Biomedica

Oxford Biomedica, is a gene therapy research and bioprocessing facility based in Oxfordshire. Biomedica needed to update their fire exit signage to further ensure compliance with current safety sign legislation, whilst adhering to strict infection and contamination control protocol. Biomedica called upon us, Signs, Safety & Surveys Ltd., to conduct a site survey to mark out where fire exit signs were needed and where existing signs needed to be replaced. Simple...not quite. This particular job was different from any other we had undertaken before; our client specifically required signs that had antimicrobial properties to help prevent the spread of bacteria, viruses, and contamination.

Our solution to this was to manufacture signs using specially designed antimicrobial PVC, combined with our polymeric vinyl and matched 7-year grade UV protective laminate system. The material we used was different from standard PVC, due to its extremely low porosity, meaning that air, liquid, and other particulates could not pass through it. Upon installation, our team applied edge sealer around the signs to further prevent contamination and the spread of microbes.

Applications:

Antimicrobial signage is extremely useful, now more than ever, in a variety of settings including:

• Hospitals

• Pharmaceutical companies

• Medical research facilities

• Restaurants, hotels, and other hospitality venues

• Public transport

• Food Manufacturing

• Agricultural food

The list goes on.
