Safety signs are divided into categories with a specific colour and format assigned to it. The categories of safety signs are:
1. Prohibition Signs (RED SIGN)
It conveys “DO NOT” or “NOT ALLOWED” command. This sign means stop performing a certain action. This sign has a white background circle with a thick red outline and a 45📷 diagonal crossbar that descends from left to right & a black pictogram.
2. Warning Signs (YELLOW SIGN)
This sign alerts people of nearby danger or hazard. It consists of a yellow equilateral triangle, with a black outline and a black pictogram in the middle of the triangle.
3. Mandatory Signs (BLUE SIGN)
This sign indicates actions that must be carried out in order to comply with statutory requirements. On construction sites, you are required to wear a safety helmet before getting in. It consists of a blue background with a white outlined pictogram.
4. Safe Conditions Signs (GREEN SIGN):
This indicates escape routes, emergency exits and muster points. It shows that the area is safe. This sign is represented as a green rectangular background with a white pictogram and text.
So, when next you see a colour sign, you are now likely to know what it stands for and what is action you should take. Information is key. This could be the little difference between life and death.
Always remember to think safety every day and everywhere.
