Conclusion
Safety signs and symbols exist to make identifying potential hazards easier. Keep things simple
by spreading signs out within an area to avoid clustering them. Too many signs crammed
together overwhelms workers with information and makes it less likely that they pay careful
attention.To avoid this “sign blindness,” safety experts recommend switching up the location of
your signs every so often to keep the safety message top of mind.
