Employers have a responsibility to warn employees of hazards that exist in every workplace. One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is with accident prevention signs.
OSHA, the agency that develops, implements and enforces standards, has specifications for accident prevention signs and tags in 29 CFR 1910.144.
These specifications apply to the design, application and use of signs or symbols used to prevent accidental injuries or property damage. They do not cover plant bulletin boards, safety posters or any signs designed for streets, highways, railroads or marine regulations.
