Follow the Signs to a Safer Workplace

"Workplace safety signs and tags prevent accidents. Select and place them with care." That's good advice from Safety.BLR in a recent blog post by Chris Kilbourne. He goes on to identify key issues with workplace safety signs and tags, including:

• Identifying all hazards
• Selecting appropriate signs
• Using proper wording
• Positioning signs carefully
• Identify safety and fire protection equipment
• Using tags properly and effectively

Perhaps most important is the advice to review your sign and tag program whenever new hazards are introduced.
