Illuminated industrial signage: a visual guide to a safe work environment

Industrial signage is an essential element in any work environment, playing a key role in visual communication and worker safety. These signs provide clear instructions and important guidelines to prevent accidents and ensure workplace safety.

The purpose and importance of industrial marking

Industrial signage is designed to provide quick and effective visual information to guide workers in complex industrial environments. These signs help identify hazards, indicate precautions to be followed, and indicate escape routes in the event of an emergency. Their importance cannot be underestimated as they help prevent accidents and protect the health and safety of workers.

Types of marks in industrial marking

There are five types of industrial signals:

• Warning signs: These signs alert workers to potential hazards in the work environment. They are often yellow or orange in color and triangular in shape to maximize visibility and attention.
• Emergency signs: These signs indicate escape routes, the location of first aid equipment, and other life-saving equipment. They are usually green in color and square or rectangular in shape to facilitate immediate recognition and identification.
• Prohibition signs: These signs indicate what is prohibited or forbidden in the work environment. They are easily recognizable by their red color and round shape and serve to ensure compliance with safety regulations and prevent risky behavior.
• Mandatory / regulatory signs: These signs provide instructions on behavior to be followed or the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). They are light blue in color and circular in shape to emphasize the importance of requirements and obligations to be followed.
• Fire Safety Signs: These signs indicate the location of firefighting equipment such as extinguishers, hoses, and fire escapes. They are red for quick identification and square in shape to emphasize the importance of quick response in an emergency.

Vertical and horizontal industrial signs

Industrial brands can also be divided into two other categories: vertical and horizontal.

Vertical signs include signs, plaques, and panels placed on a wall or on vertical supports, while horizontal signs include pedestrian crossings, boundary lines, and floor markings.

Road markings play an extremely important role in industrial environments, as they provide direct and immediate indication of hazardous areas, safe routes and work zones. Pedestrian crossings and floor markings help maintain order, mark escape routes and prevent accidents due to collisions or falls.

Road markings typically require more and ongoing maintenance to ensure their effectiveness over time. Wear and tear from heavy traffic, chemicals or extreme environmental conditions can degrade the visibility and integrity of the signal. Therefore, it is essential to carry out regular inspections and replace or repair damaged signs to maintain a safe working environment.

Our innovative solution: illuminated safety signs

To address the challenges of traditional industrial signage, we offer an advanced and innovative solution: safety illuminated signs. This technology uses low-energy lamps to project symbols, pedestrian crossings and directional paths in a clear and visible way, improving the delineation of company routes.

Advantages of our illuminated signs

• Resistance to extreme temperatures: Our robust and durable illuminated signs maintain their effectiveness even in extreme climates.
• Visibility in all environmental conditions: Ensures high visibility even in poorly lit or dusty environments.
• Easy to relocate and modular: The flexibility of illuminated signs allows for quick adaptation to changing business needs.
• Maintenance-free: Unlike traditional signs, they do not require costly maintenance.

Our safety light signs represent a significant development in supporting a safe and efficient work environment. Investing in this innovative technology not only increases safety, but also offers an effective and long-term solution for guiding and marking industrial areas.
