Safety Signs: Compliant, Clear, and Unmissable

What are the legal requirements for Safety Signs?

In the UK, safety signs must comply with BS EN ISO 7010. This standard dictates the specific shapes and colors required to ensure a sign is universally understood, even if you don't speak the language.

The Viking Guide to Safety Colors:

  • Yellow (Triangle): Warning. "Be careful." (e.g., High Voltage, Wet Floor).
  • Blue (Circle): Mandatory. "Do this." (e.g., Wear Hard Hat, Fire Door Keep Shut).
  • Red (Circle with Line): Prohibition. "Don't do this." (e.g., No Smoking, No Entry).
  • Green (Rectangle/Square): Safe Condition. "Go here for safety." (e.g., Fire Exit, First Aid).
  • Red (Square): Fire Fighting. "Here is a fire extinguisher."
