Safety Signs
Safety signs are visual aids that warn or let people know about potential dangers in an area or in certain situations. They are also useful in reminding people about measures to be observed to prevent accidents and possible harm. If you want to improve the safety and security in your workplace, putting up safety signs is a good idea – in fact, it’s just as good as installing CCTV or alarms and detector systems. Just make sure that you have the correct safety sign posted in high-traffic areas.

Our 5 Safety Sign Options
One is the prohibition sign, which is generally characterised by a red circular band, a white background, and a diagonal bar over the white area. It simply dictates that certain actions or behaviours are not allowed. Famous examples include the 'stop!' and 'do not cross'.
To warn people of potential danger, there is the hazard or warning sign, which is typically a yellow triangle with black borders. It is also used to tell people to be careful, beware, or to indicate caution. Popular examples include the skull and crossbones symbol for poison, the radioactivity sign, and biohazard sign.
To make people obey or do something, the mandatory safety sign is put up. It is a blue circle with a symbol or text in white. For general safety, the safety sign that is characterised by a green square or oblong with white text or symbol is a good choice. It is usually used for indicating first aid, where to go during emergency situations, or pointing out the safest way to go.
More specific types of safety signs include the fire safety signs, which is typically red and shaped like a square or oblong with white text or symbol. It mainly depicts the location of equipment for fire fighting.
