WHY SPECTRUM INDUSTRIAL
We are committed to achieving a more sustainable future. From the source of production to the end user’s hands, sustainability threads through every facet of our operations. Our ambition is to strive towards a sustainable future, understanding it is a continuously developing journey, one we are fully committed to.
How ARE WE Doing this?
Solar Panels
All of our energy comes from renewable sources with solar panels being installed in 2024.
Energy
Reduced our energy KW used by 25% over the last five years.
Social Sustainability
Waste
We strive to have minimal waste going to landfill, with our key focus being on re-using and recycling.
ISO
We have held our ISO 14001 for 8 years now demonstrating the importance of environmental factors for the business.
recyclable material
We have switched production of all PVC signs to a recyclable polypropylene material.
Social sustainability promotes the health and well-being of colleagues by giving them equal opportunities and access to the resources to support their families, both socially and economically. We also liaise with local residents to minimise the impact our business has on them and support local and national charities where we can to help others near and far.
Environmental Sustainability
We strive to implement initiatives that contribute to the resource efficiency of materials, such as avoiding the use of single-use non-recyclable plastics (see our shift from non-PVC to PP in 2023).
What about Social values?
Energy
We are a member of the “products of change” and the SME climate hub.

Recycling and reducing pollution are a common practice for Economic Sustainability. The innovative and effective solutions we will embed, address your needs as customers and strengthen economic growth by adding value to products and services.

EXPERTS IN SIGNAGE
We have been safety sign experts for more than 30 years and are one of the UK’s largest manufacturers of ISO 7010 compliant safety signs. You can feel confident that any sign you order from us will fully comply with the latest legislation. Our state-of-the-art production facility is based in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. This is where our highly-skilled team manufactures our products using the latest digital printing technology. As well as thousands of ‘off the shelf’ products ready to ship the very same day we have a custom department and can assist with one off jobs or bespoke branded brochures.
Large Format Digital Printing
Our digital flatbed printers use the very latest technology to enable us to print extremely high quality graphics onto substrates up to 3m x 2m. Using the latest hardware and software, these machines combine both speed and quality and provide the ultimate in flexibility.
With multiple machines available these are ideal for printing one-off high quality prints through to production runs of many thousands.
Digital Cutting
Our state of the art digital cutters use optical recognition software to accurately cut a range of materials. We utilise various different cutting methods available depending on the substrate to be cut, from hightensile strength knife blades through to diamond cut routers and oscillating blades. The substrates are placed on a tough cut-resistant conveyor bed to increase productivity and ease the job of the operator. This is the ideal partner to our digital print machines.
Laser Cutting and Engraving
We have multiple laser machines onsite providing us with the ability to cut or engrave various materials. Vector artwork is imported and the computer carefully controls the position and power of the laser to cut or engrave materials as required. Different laser types are needed for different materials and the accuracy provided exceeds router based cutting or engraving.
Road Traffic Signs
All permanent road signs must be manufactured by an audited and registered company by law, and have the appropriate labelling attached to the reverse. As manufacturers we are fully accredited to the relevant standards. The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) marking is a new UK product marking that is used for goods being placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland). All permanent roads signs manufactured for installation within Great Britain will be supplied with a UKCA Mark, whereas signs destined for the European market will have the CE Mark.

WHat is LOTOTO?
LOTOTO is a term that’s recently evolved from its predecessor LOTO (Lockout - Tagout - to - Lockout - Tagout - Tryout).
The process and procedure used to ensure that machinery, moving parts and energy sources that are in need of maintenance or cleaning, are effectively isolated so safe work can commence. The process also includes the safe practice of re-energising the machine once the work has been completed, allowing production to continue.
The main application of LOTOTO is locating, identifying and isolating single or multiple points of hazard that could harm employees if the hazard was to re-energise, shift via stored energy or be overridden manually or otherwise.
Major industries are adopting the LOTOTO process due to the awareness and associated real-life risks. It is now being recognised as best practice for safety management in quarries, oil & gas, heavy manufacturing, food processing plants and more. Sectors such as renewable energy, waste and large retail companies are beginning to apply company-wide procedures utilising LOTOTO to ensure employee and operative safety with a structured and controlled procedural method.
Step 1
Identifying the requirements
The journey begins with in depth discussions. Our dedicated team then works closely with the customer to discuss the opportunity, we seek to understand what the current Lockout Tagout process is and how it’s implemented. Our aim is to establish what’s driving the request as a starting point.
Through insightful discussions and collaborative efforts, we aim to understand your unique challenges, laying the foundation for a partnership focused on safety innovation around LOTOTO.

STEP 2 Qualification and In-Person Survey
With the initial opportunity secured, our experts qualify your needs and conduct an in-person survey. This hands-on approach allows us to perform a thorough gap analysis, identifying potential safety hazards and areas for improvement.
During the survey, our team engages in meaningful discussions with your staff, ensuring a holistic understanding of your safety requirements. This personalised approach sets the stage for crafting effective and tailored solutions.
STEP 3
