Safety Signs - Keeping Us All Safer..........

Big orange diamonds mean Construction Ahead. Bright red octagons mean STOP. Yellow or red triangles mean YIELD. Safety signs like these help keep all of us safer whether we are driving, are passengers or are pedestrians on the roads, streets and highways.

Consider the example of a car accident. One of the first things insurance companies will do is examine the scene and look at any safety signs in place. The signs dictate expected behavior and disregarding those signs can end in disaster.

Safety signs create a set of norms we all learn to follow. By following the rules these signs symbolize, we work together to ensure safety for everyone on the road. These signs and norms are so important we teach them to children at the earliest of ages to help protect these vulnerable citizens.

Safety signs don't stop in traffic, though. Signs to encourage us all to be watchful include signs for hazardous conditions, dangers in natural locations and many other hazards we face each and every day.

The sign pros at The Sign Studio can work with you to create the best safety signs for your location to keep everyone out of harm's way. Contact us today!

How Important and Effective Safety Signs Are and How They Matter

Why Do Safety Signs Matter?

Safety signs, tags and warning labels are an essential feature to any plant or business, and comprise one of its most important assets. By not using proper effective safety and warning signs, you run a risk of danger that isn't worth the risk. 

Hints on Designing an Effective Warning Sign

To make your signs and labels as effective as possible, follow these hints.

1. Choose the Proper Header - The header helps get the sign noticed.

2. Choose the Right Material - Installation and ordering costs are often more than the sign itself. As a result, a durable sign always pays for itself with reduced labor.

3. Use Bilingual Warnings - Although the use of a symbol is strongly encouraged in order to better communicate hazard information across language barriers, more and more warnings themselves are now shown in two languages.

4. Learn about the New ANSI Standard - The new ANSI standard for safety signs emphasizes custom design. It suggests that you add an Action statement, consequences, a symbol, use mixed case and, in many situations, add emergency information.

If you have any further questions or if you need The Sign Studio to design and manufacture your signs, please give us a call at (818) 843-9200 or e-mail us at thesignstudio@sbcglobal.net

How Important Stop Signs, Speed Limit Signs and Handicap Signs Are

PARKING AND TRAFFIC SIGNS - For Safety and Direction........a must have!

Traffic signs provide proper safety messaging and direction throughout your roadways and parking lots. Parking Signs maintain an organized and regulated parking lot. Parking Signs make it easy to provide specific directions and eliminate confusion. Traffic signs and Parking signs improve safety, prevent accidents and post your policies. Depending on what your needs are, you may want to consider reflective, high-intensity or engineer-grade made out of aluminum, steel or polyethylene.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR TRAFFIC SIGN LAST LONGER -

All traffic and parking signs from all manufacturers are basically made from the same materials - steel, aluminum or plastic. These materials are susceptible to:

- Fading from sun damage
- Rust from rain and mist
- Cracking from the cold winds
- Graffiti from vandals

This can be prevented with a special, unique topcoat called Duroshield. Duroshield is a tedlar laminate on top of the vinyl sign face which is adhered to the sign's raw material. This special laminate is so tough that it is able to stand up to the harshest weather conditions and chemicals. The topcoat is graffiti-resistant blocking solvents and chemicals, allowing graffiti to clean right off and never damage the sign face.
