At the end of 2015, Blomsma Signs & Safety received the order from One Dyas to realize the safety signage on platform P11E. Based on a sign plan, Blomsma took care of the engineering, production and installation of the complete package of safety signage.

This sign plan has been extensively reviewed by One Dyas. By providing clarity in advance about the necessary signage, including implementation, the customer immediately has a clear picture of what they can expect. The sign plan also serves as a basis for future maintenance.
