Download LinecardOSHA Safety Signs for Compliance, Hazard Awareness and Worker Protection
If you're the owner or manager of a business, warehouse, or other workplace facility, keeping your workers safe as well as meeting necessary safety requirements is a top concern. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has many rules and regulations that must be followed in the United States as part of the organization's monitoring and enforcement of workplace safety - and this includes requirements for safety signs. OSHA safety signs are an important part of warning employees, subcontractors and temporary workers about workplace hazards and providing instructions on the proper precautions to take to avoid injuries. Clarion offers the signs needed to meet OSHA requirements, including danger, warning, caution, and notice signs. We also offer fast, easy customization services to meet your specific needs, including translated or multi-lingual signs.
OSHA Sign Requirements Under 29 CFR 1910.145
OSHA governs safety signs in the United States. In its Specifications for Accident Prevention Signs and Tags, 29 CFR 1910.145, it provides specifications for signs, accident prevention signs, and safety tags. According to the regulation, signs must be put in place "to indicate and define specific hazards." It also spells out the necessity of explaining the gravity of the threat and required imagery. It's important for occupational safety and health professionals to understand that this is the most basic level of safety sign design and implementation.
How ANSI Z535 and ISO 3864 Build on OSHA's Baseline
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) offer additional, critical detail. ANSI Z535 delineates five different types of safety signs - SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, DANGER, WARNING, NOTICE and CAUTION - and also includes detailed guidance regarding placement, shape and choice of illustration. ISO 3864 provides insight on global, graphical symbols. While they contain the latest criteria for state of the art warnings, ANSI and ISO can often be overlooked by companies designing and implementing safety signage. OSHA's 2013 update to 1910.145 incorporated the ANSI Z535 standards as an accepted design approach, which is why best practice signs today carry the expanded signal word formats. Learn more in our resource on ANSI Z535.2 best practices.
