Safety and security signs are a simple yet effective method of warning people about a mandate, danger, or risk. They are essential parts of a safety program at a workplace, but incorrect usage can make them ineffective. So, you need to design and install them correctly to ensure that the intended message is conveyed at the very first glance.

A safety or security sign is a graphical representation of hazards and mandatory behavior/actions to avoid them. You would have come across several types of these signs at your workplace, restaurant, shopping mall, or any other public place. Not all signs are made the same; each one has a particular purpose and conveys a specific message.

Workplace mishaps can be hazardous, and employees’ safety is an employer’s responsibility as per the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) norms. Safety and security signs are an easy but effective way of keeping employees aware of the various hazards that can occur at the workplace and how to avoid them.
