AUSTRALIAN SAFETY SIGNS WHAT THEY MEAN
Safety Signs are very important in any workplace or facility, however having the correct safety sign is equally important.

What is a Safety Sign?
A safety sign is one which gives a specific message to those who may be exposed to hazards in the workplace, they may be to prevent accidents, signify health hazards, indicate the location of emergency and safety equipment or to give guidance and instruction in an emergency situation.
The primary importance of displaying safety signs is to prevent injury and ensure visitors and staff alike are well aware of possible hazards and dangers in specific situations or environments. Safety Signs also provide the necessary direction in times of crisis which helps protect employees and property owners from legal difficulties if an accident was to occur.
Many dangers can often go unnoticed in your workplace or facility particularly with visitors and members of the public that may visit your site.

All Industroquip Safety Signs are manufactured here in Australia to meet Australian Standards and also withstand the harsh Australian weather conditions for many years.
