Safety Signage

There are different types of safety signs which include prohibition, warning, mandatory, and safe condition signs.

Prohibition signs convey the “Do Not” type of commands. Examples of these are the do not enter, do not extinguish with water, or do not smoke in this area. These signs are used to reinforce activities that are prohibited in a specific area.

Warning signs are used to inform people of potential dangers. Examples of these are warning not a fire exit, or warning look out for forklifts. These signs are required in some areas by certain regulations. You must check your local codes to make sure you comply.

Mandatory signs are used to indicate actions that need to be taken to comply with regulations. Examples include eye protection must be worn, or the fire door keeps shut. Some of these signs use pictograms to convey their messages.

Safe condition signs are used to indicate escape routes or emergency instructions. Examples include emergency exit signs or emergency shower signs. These types of signs should mark the safety procedure it relates to.
