This article provides a general outline for choosing and implementing signage and lighting. These include: the layout of the building or area which requires signs, the material of the signs, the intensity of the lighting, and the specific needs of a given workforce.
With simple visual and textual cues, signs communicate critical messages and facilitate clear thinking in emergency situations. Repeat viewings of safety signs also foster familiarity with important procedures and precautions, helping employees internalize a safety-conscious mindset.
