Sign location

['Signs and Markings']
Sign location
  • Signs should be placed where they will not be damaged or blocked, and proper illumination should be applied.

When positioning a safety sign, employers should ask themselves if it will be:

  • Close to the hazard or equipment
  • Clearly visible
  • In the line of sight
  • Legible at a safe viewing distance
  • Kept safe from or shielded from damage
  • Free from obstructions
  • Not lost in a sea of signs
  • Well-lit but not subjected to glare

Proper illumination of signs should be applied for day-to-day operations. The employer should think about power-outage and emergency situations as well. Will the employer need emergency lighting and/or signs that glow in the dark, reflect light, or have their own power source?

Note that 29 CFR 1910.37 goes over the illumination and minimum luminance value of EXIT signs.
