#SandSignage - Twitter Hashtag

almost 7 years ago

This summer, we’re trialling a new way of delivering vital safety messages in Cornwall. Our #SandSignage is carved onto beaches, reminding people to stay safe by swimming between the red and yellow flags or telling them when they could get cut off by the tide.

The #SandSignage is now being used by lifeguards in Wales to highlight the dangerous conditions they are experiencing.

Great work by @RNLI lifeguard Charlie. The #HEATWAVE2019 has certainly kept the lifeguards at #freshwaterwest very busy and this is great way to draw attention to the red flags 🚩 on the beach.

The idea was developed by David Revell at design consultancy Imagemakers in response to a challenge set by the RNLI as part of its Design Out Drowning programme, which is looking at new ways to reduce coastal drowning in Devon and Cornwall. #SandSignage

The sand signage is also being used to highlight what time beach goers need to return before they get cut off by the tide. #SandSignage

As part of a summer-long trial, the high impact sand art is being used to highlight the locations of dangerous rip currents and to encourage people to swim between the red and yellow flags #SandSignage
