TYPES OF SAFETY SIGNS

Basically there are mainly four (4) types of safety signage used in the workplace, and generally they use the same colour schemes all over the world.

1) Red is an indication of the potential of immediate danger, which means action must be taken, or in fact something is prohibited.

Meaning or Purpose: Prohibition/Danger Alarm
Instruction and Information: Dangerous behaviour; stop; shutdown; emergency cut-out devices; evacuate
Intrinsic Features: Round shape; black pictogram on white background; red edging and diagonal line; red part to be at least 35% of the area of the sign


2) Yellow or amber is a warning that precautionary steps should be taken to ensure safety.

Meaning or Purpose: Warning
Instruction and Information: Be careful; take precautions; examine
Intrinsic Features: Triangular shape; black pictogram on yellow background with black edging; yellow part to be at least 50% of the area of the sign.

3) Blue is a mandatory instruction that often accompanies danger or warning signs to ensure safety.

Meaning or Purpose: Mandatory

Intrinsic Features: Round shape; white pictogram on blue background; blue part to be at least 50% of the area of the sign


4) Green is a safety sign, but does not mean any kind of danger; instead it is used to indicate an escape route or first aid.
