Identifying and following requirements of work site safety signs and symbols
Identifying and following requirements of work site safety signs and symbols
In previous sections we reviewed some safety signage that a person would encounter on a building or construction site. We review and expand more on the types of common signs on a building or construction site. Standard safety signs are used as an aid to:
Communicate information on hazards
Communicate the need for personal protective equipment
Communicate the location of safety equipment/emergency facilities (eye wash stations, first aid kit)
Give guidance and instruction in an emergency
Types of Safety Signs
Types of Safety Signs
There are two main types of safety signs referenced in Australian Standard 1319 - 1994 Safety Signs for the Occupational Environment. These are:
Picture signs, which utilise a combination of text and symbols to represent the hazard, equipment or process, as well as the standard colours and shapes, used to convey a message
Signs with text only messages which are supplemented by the use of standard colours and shapes
Common safety signs are as pictured below.
