    Safety signs provide health and safety information or instructions to workers through signboards, colors, illuminated signs, acoustic signals, verbal communication, or hand signals. Signboards use shape, color, and symbols or pictograms, and are often accompanied by supplementary text. Common signboard types include prohibition signs, warning signs, mandatory action signs, emergency escape or first-aid signs, and firefighting equipment signs. Regulations specify colors that should be used for different types of safety signs, with red used for prohibition signs and warning signs, yellow or amber for warning signs, green for mandatory action signs, and white for equipment and facility markings.
