Hawaii Beach Safety
Posted by Clarion Safety Systems | 7th Jun 2019
Communicating Safety is Important for Hawaii Beaches
Lifeguards on beaches are busy rescuing people every day from
dangers associated with large bodies of water. Why? Because many people don’t
recognize the potential hazards related to beach environments – everything from
sharp coral to seriously strong undertow that can rip you from the shore.
Injuries and deaths occur frequently enough that communicating safety is
paramount for beaches across the U.S. Clarion Safety teamed up with the state
of Hawaii to create
best
practice beach safety signs to protect swimmers at the state’s beautiful beaches.
Clarion Safety’s Fix: ISO-formatted Safety Signs to Avoid
Harm
Clarion Safety designed new safety signs for a large number of these hazards –
signs meant to affect people’s behavior so they can better avoid harm. Clear
and concise language was used in conjunction with eye-catching
International
Organization for Standardization (ISO)-formatted graphical symbols to
communicate the most essential messages. It should be noted that the symbol
elements were made predominate because of the necessity to convey safety
information to the wide variety of international, often non-English-reading,
people who visit beaches.
