Other Pointers
Signs should have rounded or blunted corners to prevent sharp edges, burrs, splinters or other sharp projections.
Position fastening devices carefully so that they don’t become hazards.
For more information on sign specifications, refer
to the standards listed in References.
Training
Inform employees that signs and colours are being used in the workplace to protect employee/visitor health and safety. Also point out to employees that their cooperation and feedback are necessary for the system to be effective.
Not everyone may be aware that there is a purpose for and meaning in the shape and colour of safety signs or that colours on equipment and around the workplace indicate hazards.
