Hazard Signs

Hazard Signs help identify dangers before accidents occur. By providing clear visual warnings, they encourage people to take appropriate precautions and reduce the likelihood of injury.

Effective hazard signage helps to:

• 
  Alert people to potential dangers
  
• 
  Improve workplace safety awareness
  
• 
  Reduce the risk of accidents
  
• 
  Support site risk management
  
• 
  Protect employees, contractors and visitors
  
• 
  Highlight hazardous areas and equipment
  
• 
  Reinforce safe working practices
  
• 
  Support compliance with workplace safety procedures
  

Hazard warning signs should always complement other control measures, such as risk assessments, training, safe systems of work and personal protective equipment (PPE).

Hazard Signs warn people about potential dangers that could cause injury or harm if appropriate precautions are not taken.

The need for warning signs depends on the outcome of your workplace risk assessment. Where risks remain after other control measures have been implemented, warning signs can be an important way of communicating those hazards.

The terms are often used interchangeably. In UK safety signage, Hazard Signs typically use a yellow triangle with a black symbol to identify potential dangers.
