Workplace Safety Mirrors for Improved Visibility and Accident Prevention
Workplace Safety Mirrors for Industrial Hazard Prevention
Workplace safety mirrors are designed to improve visibility and reduce accident risk in industrial and commercial environments. These industrial-grade convex safety mirrors help eliminate blind spots in warehouses, factories, car parks, hospitals and secure buildings, supporting safer movement around vehicle routes, pedestrian walkways and operational pinch points.
Common installation areas include aisle intersections, loading bays, forklift crossings, corridor junctions and restricted-visibility doorways. By improving sightlines in these high-risk locations, workplace safety mirrors help organisations reduce collisions, near-miss incidents and visibility-related hazards in line with HSE guidance for accident prevention.
Our range of workplace safety mirrors includes full-dome, half-dome, anti-vandal and weather-resistant convex mirrors suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. With wide-angle coverage of up to 160°, UV-stabilised polycarbonate mirror faces and high-impact housings, these mirrors deliver reliable performance in demanding environments such as distribution centres, production areas, stairwells, car parks and public access zones. All models are designed for straightforward installation and long-term durability in busy industrial settings.

Indoor Convex Safety Mirrors
Lightweight acrylic convex mirrors designed for indoor workplace environments including warehouses, retail areas and offices. Available in 300 mm, 450 mm and 600 mm diameters, these mirrors provide clear visibility across blind corners and aisle junctions with viewing distances of up to 12 metres.
Outdoor Weather-Resistant Safety Mirrors
Outdoor workplace safety mirrors feature UV-stabilised polycarbonate mirror faces with corrosion-resistant backing. They are engineered to withstand temperatures from −40 °C to +120 °C, making them suitable for car parks, loading bays, service yards and external walkways exposed to weather conditions.
Specialist Observation Mirrors
Specialist workplace safety mirrors include full-dome (360°), half-dome (180°) and quarter-dome (90°) designs. These are commonly used at corridor junctions, central aisles and high-risk internal intersections where wide-angle visibility is required.
Why Use Convex Workplace Safety Mirrors?
Convex workplace safety mirrors improve visibility in areas where blind spots create collision risks. By providing wide-angle coverage of up to 160°, they help operators identify approaching vehicles, pedestrians and equipment earlier, supporting safer movement in warehouses, factories and commercial premises.
While mirrors are not mandated by name, they are widely used to support HSE workplace transport guidance by reducing visibility-related hazards at junctions, crossings and restricted-view locations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Workplace Safety Mirrors
Where should workplace safety mirrors be installed?
Workplace safety mirrors are most effective at blind corners, forklift crossings, racking aisle ends, loading bay entrances and pedestrian routes where visibility is restricted.
How do convex mirrors improve forklift and vehicle safety?
Convex mirrors provide early visibility of approaching vehicles and pedestrians. This additional reaction time helps drivers slow, stop or manoeuvre safely, reducing collision risk in busy environments.
Are workplace safety mirrors required by UK regulations?
Mirrors are not specified by name in legislation, but employers must manage visibility risks under HSE workplace transport guidance. Convex mirrors are widely used as a practical control measure.
What is the difference between dome mirrors and flat mirrors?
Dome mirrors offer wide-angle coverage from 90° to 360°, making them ideal for junctions and central areas. Flat mirrors provide a narrower field of view and are used where only one direction needs monitoring.
Can the same safety mirror be used indoors and outdoors?
Some models are suitable for both environments, but outdoor installations require UV-stabilised, weather-resistant mirrors with corrosion-resistant fixings.
What maintenance do workplace safety mirrors require?
Maintenance is minimal and typically involves periodic cleaning, checking fixings and confirming that mirror positioning still matches the current site layout.
