    WARNING

    SIGNS
    Mavi Rei Nobio
    PROHIBITION SIGNS

    A sign prohibiting behaviour likely to increase or cause danger (e.g. “No access for
    unauthorised personnel”)

    These signs should be used for “Do Not” commands. For example – to indicate that
    smoking is not allowed in a particular area. In the workplace, they should be used to
    reinforce instructions prohibiting dangerous activities.

    Signs prohibiting an activity appear as a circular red band with a single diagonal cross
    line descending from left to right at a 45-degree angle. The background should be
    solid white with the imagery indicating the nature of the command in black.
    WARNING SIGNS

    A sign giving a warning of a hazard or danger (e.g. “Danger: High Voltage”)

    These signs should be used to make people aware of nearby dangers.

    For example, a flammable liquid store.

    Signs warning of a particular hazard appear as a black band in the shape of an equilateral triangle.
    The background within the band should be yellow with the imagery indicating the type of hazard in
    black, positioned centrally on the sign.
    MANDATORY SIGNAGE

    A safety sign prescribing specific behaviour (e.g. “Personal Protective Equipment Must Be Worn”)

    These signs should be used to indicate actions that must be carried out in order to comply with statutory
    requirements. For example, self-closing fire doors that must be kept closed to comply with the fire risk
    assessment should be labelled with “FIRE DOOR KEEP SHUT” signs. An area of a construction site
    where hard hats should be worn should also have appropriate signs at the entry points.

    Signs indicating mandatory requirements consist of a blue circle with the pictogram or text in white
    positioned centrally.
    EMERGENCY SIGNS

    A sign giving information on emergency exits, first aid, or rescue facilities (e.g.
    “Emergency Exit”) These information signs should be used to indicate escape routes,
    emergency exits and first aid equipment.

    Safe condition signs appear as a green rectangle or square with the imagery or text in
    white positioned centrally. For example “PUSH BAR TO OPEN” is not required to
    comply and there is no imagery with that meaning.

    Emergency exits can also be highlighted via graphic floor markers.


    FIRE SIGNS

    The bright red of Fire Signs makes them easy to spot around fire alarms and fire-
    fighting equipment. All text and imagery is white and stands out against the red
    background. Fire Signs are available to indicate the location of all your fire
    equipment, like fire extinguishers, fire blankets, fire hoses, and more.
