You can find a washroom at nearly every place you visit whether that’s a supermarket, university or public park. Accompanying these washrooms are a wide range of different signs which can assist in directions, hygiene, safety and education. Whilst some signs are a common feature of any washroom, some commercial spaces might come with special signs or instructions for visitors, employees and customers.
Washroom signs for schools
From nursery to higher education, school washrooms are filled with signs and information for students, staff and visitors to use throughout the day. Maintaining hygiene standards within a school is a priority across the country, with washrooms being a prominent place of germs and bacteria. As well as keeping on top of cleaning and facility maintenance, schools also provide signage through their washrooms to assist in directing users and providing health and safety advice.
Here are a few common signs you might find in a school washroom depending on the student age categories.
- Cubicile door signs e.g. gender, unisex and staff
- Disabled toilet sign
- Entry and exit signs
- Anti-bullying posters
- Hygiene graphics e.g. how to wash hands correctly
- Sanitary instructions and placement
- Toilet flush reminders
- Health and safety regulations poster
- Fire exits
Hospital washroom signs
A hospital is a busy place, with people coming and going every second of every day. Whilst some of these people could be staff or regular visitors, a hospital is also a place filled with newcomers, making signage a must. A hospital is also a vocal point for hygiene. From reception areas and toilets to private appointment rooms, every part of a hospital washroom must be kept clean, tidy and accessible, with these signs proving a huge help for all.

These washrooms must be kept clean and tidy for constant use throughout the day and also go under the responsibility of a facilities manager or similar. There are a number of workplace regulations in place which businesses must follow, but there are also many washroom signs found throughout the workplace to ensure users are safe and happy within their environment.
Here are a few signs you might find within a workplace washroom.

Disabled/accessible washroom signs
Although most accessible toilet cubicles are usually within a wider washroom or a private room, they tend to have additional signs inside the actual cubicle. This is to ensure that everyone using the washroom is safe, comfortable and can use the facilities correctly. As well as additional support, a disabled toilet might have wash basins and vanity units inside, meaning all the signs could be found in one space including:
- Disabled/accessible door sign
- Equipment instructions e.g. how to flush
