Danger signs are for warning when a hazard or a hazardous

condition is likely to be life threatening. The word Danger is


featured inside a red oval which in turn is inside a black
rectangle.
Caution signs and stickers warn of hazardous or a
hazardous condition that is not likely to be life
threatening. The hazard symbol should be black on a
yellow background. Whilst we have a range in stock,
should your caution sign or sticker requirement not be
listed, we will manufacture to suit your needs. Caution
signs and stickers help keep the work site safe.
Standard color(American English) or colour (Commonwealth
English) is the visual perceptual property corresponding
in humans to the categories called red, blue, yellow, etc. Color
derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of light power
versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral
sensitivities of the light receptors. Color categories and physical
specifications of color are also associated with objects or
materials based on their physical properties such as light
absorption, reflection, or emission spectra. By defining a color
space colors can be identified numerically by their coordinates.
An exit sign is a device in a public facility (such as
a building, aircraft or boat) denoting the location of
the closest emergency exit in case of fire or other
emergency.
Safety signs must be used whenever a hazard or danger
can not be avoided adequately or reduced in another way.
Before installing safety signs an employer should examine
whether the hazard can be avoided or reduced by collective
precautions (precautions that protect everybody) or safer
ways of doing the work.
A direction sign, more fully defined as a direction,
position, or indication sign by the Vienna
Convention on Road Signs and Signals, is any road
sign used primarily to give information about the
location of either the driver or possible destinations,
and are considered a subset of the informative signs
group. Direction signs are far more varied
internationally than other classes of sign, as the
Vienna Convention does not specify sizes, colours,
symbols or positions of such signs.
Traffic signs or road signs are signs erected at the
side of or above roads to give instructions or provide
information to road users. The earliest signs were
simple wooden or stone milestones. Later, signs
with directional arms were introduced, for example,
the fingerposts in the United Kingdom and their
wooden counterparts in Saxony.
