Enhancing facility safety with signs and labels

摘要

Question: How can visual communications markings (i.e., signs, labels, banners, tags, tapes, etc.) be used to enhance safety within a facility? Answer: In 2008, the top 10 matking violations cited by OSHA resulted in fines totaling in excess of $1 million. The significance of this staggering statistic only underscores the importance of developing, implementing and sustaining a comprehensive safety program throughout a facility, including the effective use of visual communications tools - signs, labels, banners, tags, tapes, etc. Creating a safe work environment through the installation of well-placed signs and markings can save lives and prevent injuries.
