Description
Danger Safety Sign – Workplace Hazard Warning Poster
Clearly identify dangerous or restricted areas with this Danger Safety Sign. Designed for workplace safety applications, this sign provides a highly visible warning to employees, visitors, contractors, and others who may approach an area where an immediate hazard is present.
The 8.5 x 11-inch laminated sign can be displayed near hazardous work areas, equipment, restricted locations, or other areas where a prominent danger warning is appropriate.
When Are Danger Signs Used?
Under OSHA's accident-prevention sign standard, danger signs indicate immediate danger and that special precautions are necessary. Danger signage should therefore be reserved for serious hazards rather than general safety reminders or lower-level potential hazards.
OSHA Danger Sign Requirements
OSHA addresses accident-prevention signs under 29 CFR 1910.145. OSHA specifies red, black, and white for danger signs and requires safety-sign wording to be concise, easy to read, accurate, and sufficiently clear to communicate the hazard.
The appropriate safety signage for a workplace depends on the specific hazard and applicable OSHA standards. Employers should evaluate each work area to determine whether additional hazard-specific warnings, instructions, guarding, or other protective measures are required.
