safety signs are a familiar reminder of workplace hazards, and one of the primary ways of communicating important safety messages throughout your facility. for nearly 50 years, the ansi 1967 safety sign format has been protecting workers with its recognizable layout, color scheme
osha color codes for pipes, and simple messaging style. however, today, there is a better and moreeffective way to keep your workers safe… the new and improved ansi 2011 safety sign format, which osha has recently adopted as part of
the ansi z535 standard for workplacesafety signage. what makes this new safety sign format so much better? the ansi 2011 format provides a much clearer safety layout, relying heavily on the use of universally recognizable symbols and pictograms in order to communicate safety messages across a multi-lingual workforce. combine this with more detailed safety messaging meant to not only warn of a hazardous situation, but to also better explain the situation, the potential consequences, and how to avoid them.
the ansi 2011 sign format is a significant improvement over the 1967 style. not one to be ignored when protecting your work force from hazardous situations.
