Types of Industrial Safety Signs: Aquino, Justin Giohann G

There are several types of industrial safety signs that indicate different hazard levels: 1) Danger signs indicate immediate hazards that will result in injury or death if not avoided. 2) Warning signs indicate a hazard level between caution and danger, risking serious injury or death. 3) Caution signs represent the lowest hazard level, indicating potentially hazardous situations that may result in minor to moderate injury if not avoided.

Biological Hazard
Signs
Used to indicate either the actual
or potential presence of
a biohazard, identifying objects
that either are or could possibly
be contaminated with “viable
hazardous agents” that pose a
risk or potential risk to a person’s
well-being.
Notice Signs
Icon

Used to communicate general


information relevant to
equipment, a building, area,
or machine. These signs
are related to practices that
are not related to personal
injury.
General Safety
Signs 
Used to communicate
important safety instructions
and procedures, such as rules
and practices for first
aid, sanitation, housekeeping,
medical equipment, etc.
Fire Safety
Signs
As mentioned previously,
industrial safety signs are often
used to label the location
of emergency equipment, such as
fire extinguishers. These signs
don’t include directions for
operating safety equipment;
instead, they simply mark the
location of emergency equipment
to make life-saving tools easy to
access in case of a crisis. 
Safety Symbols 
These symbols encompass
everything from required or
prohibited actions to
consequences and directions,
as well as the effects of
interacting with hazards such
as chemical exposure.
Admittance
Signs 
 Indicate who is permitted
to enter designated areas
or locations. Admittance
signs are often used in
conjunction with other
types of signs; for
instance, an admittance
message may be included
on a warning or caution
sign or a sign with any
other header.
