Signs printed with a DuraLabel printer are clear and easy to read. DuraLabels do their jobs well. However, in designing safety signs you also need to do your job well.

Safety signs must be concise and to the point. Safety signs should use as few words as possible, while clearly communicating the desired message. That way the sign will provide the needed safety information clearly and in a way that is quickly communicated. A safety sign should not be telling a story.

OSHA Safety Signs

When making OSHA compliant safety signs, you do not want a sign that presents a safety hazard itself.

OSHA specifies that signs must have rounded or blunt corners and that they not have sharp edges, burrs, splinters, or other sharp projections. OSHA also specifies that the means of attaching the sign to a wall, post or other supporting material must not result in a hazard. For example, the ends or heads of bolts or other fastening devices must be located in such a way that they do not constitute a hazard.

Signs can be used anywhere in your facility where necessary and the high resolution of a DuraLabel printer will make the sign visible from quite a distance.
