Improving Safety with Big Signs and Labels
Big signs and labels are easier to read!
Safety labels and signs are a critical component of maintaining a safe industrial workplace. Signs and labels support the safety and well being of employees in the following ways:
- Prevent accidents by calling attention to health and safety hazards
- Provide general information and direction
- Guide employees to emergency equipment
- Mark areas where personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn
- Indicate prohibited locations and actions
When properly designed and positioned, safety signs effectively reduce the likelihood of accidents ranging from minor to catastrophic. Workers should easily be able to recognize and read safety signs with enough time to do whatever the sign says in order to be safe. Text legibility is paramount to the effectiveness of safety signs. The two factors that most determine legibility are:
- The font characteristics, including stroke width and letter size
- The presentation of text, such as resolution and background contrast
