Industrial light marking: an innovative and long-lasting solution

Industrial signage is an essential element of workplace safety and communication. It is a set of signs, symbols, pictograms and texts whose purpose is to inform, warn, indicate or prescribe behavior or actions to be followed in certain situations.

In this article, we will see what are the main types of industrial signage, the importance of appropriate signage and the requirements necessary for it to fulfill its function.

Types of industrial marking

Industrial signage can be divided into different categories depending on the function it performs. The most common are:

• Safety signs: indicate hazards present in the work environment, such as machinery, chemicals, electricity, etc. You can recognize it by its red color and the symbol of a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle. Some examples are: "Caution moving machine", "Danger of explosion", "No smoking".
• Information signs: those that provide useful or necessary information for the correct performance of work activities, such as instructions for using the appliance, rules of conduct to be followed, technical data of the product, etc. You can recognize it by its blue color and circle symbol with a letter or number in the middle. Some examples are: "Emergency exit", "Wear protective gloves", "Maximum load capacity 100 kg".
• Direction signs: indicate the direction to follow to reach a specific location or service, such as a production department, warehouse, bathroom, etc. You can recognize it by its green color and arrow symbol. Some examples are: "Painting department", "Raw materials warehouse", "Clothing rooms".

The meaning of industrial marking

Industrial signage is important for many reasons. First of all, it helps prevent accidents at the workplace by providing clear information about the risks associated with industrial activities. Signs may indicate, for example, the presence of hazardous substances, the need to wear personal protective equipment, or the danger associated with electrical or mechanical machinery.

Additionally, industrial marking is important for compliance. National and international laws and regulations require safety information to be visible and easy to understand. This means that companies must use standardized signs and brands to communicate risks and safety measures.

Finally, industrial marking plays a fundamental role in the organization of work. Signs can provide information about work areas, ongoing activities and procedures to be followed. It helps improve work efficiency and overall company productivity.

Requirements for industrial marking

Industrial signage must meet certain requirements to be effective and compliant with regulations. Among them are:

• visible and readable from a distance appropriate to the context,
• located so that they do not create obstacles or cause confusion,
• resistant to weather effects and mechanical stress,
• maintained in good condition and replaced in case of damage or obsolescence,
• in accordance with traffic signs and international standards.
