About This Webinar
Every day, engineers and manufacturers who have responsibility over product safety and compliance face challenges related to ever-changing global codes, standards, and regulations.
The U.S. ANSI Z535 family of consensus standards is commonly used by manufacturers and workplaces – along with its global counterpart, ISO 3864-2 – as a main guideline for following best practices and creating consistency in their safety warnings and instructions.
This webinar will focus on the significance of ANSI Z535.4 and ISO 3864-2, and how to be in compliance with the recent updates to these standards and today’s latest best practices. It will also address current product safety labeling challenges and opportunities related to today’s manufacturing environment, including trends in digitalization, automation, and an increasingly global marketplace.
Of special significance is that both the ANSI Z535 and ISO 3864-2 standards were republished in 2022. This marked the first time that many of the standards in the ANSI Z535 family have been reviewed and updated in more than 10 years. Three of the six ANSI standards (Z535.1, Z535.3, and Z535.5) were republished in August 2022, and the remaining three (Z535.2, Z535.4, and Z535.6) are expected to be published shortly. While ISO 3864-2 was republished in 2022 without any changes, the previous republication in 2016 contained significant updates related to format options and symbol use.
This session will be presented by Angela Lambert, who has over a decade of experience in product safety and liability issues. Lambert is the head of standards compliance at Clarion Safety Systems, and serves in leadership roles in ANSI and ISO committees for product safety, workplace safety, and visual safety communication. She is chair of ANSI Z535.1 Safety Colors, a member of ANSI Z535 Committee, the U.S. TAG to ISO/TC 145 and of the U.S. TAG to ISO/TC 283, and is the liaison representative from ISO/TC 145 to ISO/TC 283.

Head of Standards Compliance, Clarion Safety Systems
Angela Lambert has over fifteen years of experience in product safety, warnings, and liability. In her role at Clarion Safety Systems, she collaborates with manufacturers – as well as industry partners and advocates – on labels, signs and markings that can help reduce risk and protect people. That includes having a keen understanding of visual safety communication standards, as well as safety label content/design, color systems and print production.
From a standards perspective, Lambert is actively involved at the leadership level in the ANSI and ISO standards for product safety. She is chair of the ANSI Z535.1 subcommittee, leading the standard that focuses on colors used in visual safety communication. She is also a delegate representative to the ANSI Z535 committee, to the ISO/TC 145 SC2 WG 1 committee (responsible for the library of ISO 7010 registered symbols and the ISO 3864 set of standards), and to ISO/TC 283 (responsible for the ISO 45001 standard). Additionally, she is the liaison for ISO/TC 145 to ISO/TC 283, acting as a bridge between the international safety label/sign standards and workplace health/safety standards.
Lambert is also an expert speaker on product safety and visual safety communication at universities and associations across the country. In addition to designing and producing best practice labels and signs, Clarion Safety Systems specializes in guiding its clients through a streamlined process to implement cutting-edge visual safety communication systems in line with today's leading safety standards. The company also provides complementary services for comprehensive machine safety, compliance, and risk reduction, offered in part through its subsidiary, Machine Safety Specialists. Clarion Safety is a member of the ANSI Z535 Committee for Safety Signs and Colors, the U.S. ANSI TAG to ISO/TC 145, and the U.S. ANSI TAG to ISO 45001.
