Corporate illuminated signage: an important visual guide for your organization

Corporate signage plays an important role within an organization, providing clear and effective visual guidance for employees, visitors, and customers. Using signals, symbols, and text, corporate signage helps improve communication, efficiency, and safety in the work environment. In this article, we will explore the different types of signage and their impact on business operations.

Internal company signage: find your way easily

Internal signage is essential to guide people around a company’s premises and includes, for example, directional signs that indicate offices, meeting rooms, work areas and restrooms. These signs can be created using arrows, icons or text that indicate the correct direction to follow. This type of signage helps employees and visitors navigate the building easily, reducing confusion and improving the overall efficiency of business operations.

However, internal company signs are not only those that indicate direction, but this family also includes information such as warnings and notices, or company safety signs.

Safety signs: preventing risks and accidents

Safety signs are a critical element in preventing hazards and accidents in the workplace. They include warning signs, prohibition signs, mandatory signs, and emergency signs. These signs provide important safety instructions and warnings, such as the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), the obligation to follow certain procedures, the presence of hazardous substances, or emergency exits. Company safety signs play a key role in educating and informing employees about safe practices and minimizing potential risks in the workplace.

In Italy, safety signs are regulated mainly by Legislative Decree 81/2008, known as the "Consolidated Law on Health and Safety at Work" (T.U.S.LL.), and by the Ministerial Decree of 10 March 1998 on the "minimum safety requirements for workplaces".

However, it is important to note that technical specifications may vary slightly depending on the sector of activity and the type of risks present in the workplace. It is therefore recommended to refer to specific standards and guidelines for the relevant sector to ensure the correct use of safety signs.

Horizontal company signs: layout and delineation of spaces

Horizontal markings are also part of company signs and are part of safety signs, but not only that. Horizontal markings are essential for organizing and defining spaces within a work environment and include lines and marks on the ground that indicate routes, parking areas, designated work areas and escape routes. Horizontal markings help maintain order and safety in the work environment, prevent collisions, provide clear indications and facilitate access in emergency situations.

The importance of clarity and consistency in labeling

To ensure the effectiveness of corporate signage, it is essential to maintain a high level of clarity and consistency. Signs should be easy to read and understand using contrasting colors, legible fonts, and intuitive icons. In addition, signage should be consistent throughout the company’s building so that people can familiarize themselves with symbols and directions without confusion. Regular maintenance and updating of signs is equally important to ensure that signs remain visible, legible, and relevant over time.
