As you know, manufacturing plants have a lot of signage, plus every plant is different so the regulations and compliance demands will dictate all of the must have signs required by law. But which signs matter most? In this article we categorize the 4 must have safety signs that all manufacturing plants should ensure they include and prominently promote.
1. Days Without Injury Signs
This specific safety sign is important to display in your manufacturing plant because it helps employees take ownership of their safety measures and general well-being in the workplace. Days without injury signs also remind workers about the importance of safety in general. It gives them an ongoing goal to try and beat when they are at work as they want to see the number go higher every day.
2. Danger, Warning & Caution Signs
Danger, warning and caution signs are the three main classifications of severity for safety signs. Danger signs indicate the most serious hazards that can result in injury or death. The signs have the word, “DANGER”, printed in white letters (on a red background) along with an exclamation point inside a triangle (safety alert symbol). Warning signs also promote the chance of serious injury or death but the overall risk does not warrant a danger sign. The word, “WARNING”, is in black (on an orange background) and also includes the safety alert symbol. A caution sign indicates a chance of suffering mild or moderate injuries if unsafe practices are happening in the workplace. The word, “CAUTION”, is in black (on a yellow background) and the sign also includes the safety alert symbol.
3. Wayfinding
Wayfinding signs give customers directions or guidance without any type of complicated explanation. General safety signs include a broad range of safety messages related to health/first aid, medical attention and housekeeping. Fire safety signs are exactly what the name implies as they focus on fire exits and emergency firefighting equipment. Non-hazard signs provide general safety info for the facility such as directions through the building. They are not necessarily custom safety signs but they do promote a safer workplace.
4. Motivational Signs
Workplace safety signs can also be used to improve the overall morale of the team. This type of signage motivates employees to keep safety as one of their top priorities while also building a sense of teamwork. You can use the space to reinforce your safety mission statement by promoting a safe workplace and creating pride in the appearance and safety of the building.
