Examples of Safety Signs

The New Mexico State University web site provides several pages that give examples of safety signs. This is an excellent resource to help you create safety signs that are comprehensive and which communicate all the needed information.

The web page to visit is: http://www.nmsu.edu/safety/resources/safety_signs.htm

The examples include safety signs such as Safety First, Caution, Danger, Notice, and generic safety signs. There are also links to a section on safety symbols and another to pages with examples of charts, such as a PPE chart.

This page is particularly useful if you are just just getting started adding safety signs, such as in a new installation, or if you are auditing your safety signs and labels with the intention of upgrading the quality of the content.

A FREE guide / punch list for doing an audit of safety labels and signs is available from Graphic Products. You can request your free copy here: Safety Sign and Label Inspection Workbook
