Are Your Safety Signs ISO 7010-Compliant?

Are your safety signs ISO 7010-compliant? ISO 7010 Safety Signs Guide Book Why this Guide? Safety signs are a great solution to quickly communicate important information in the workplace where it is needed. They enable companies to be compliant with legislative requirements and, more importantly, they help to save lives. A simple safety sign can prevent costly workplace accidents if it is clearly visible, draws attention and is easy to understand. To maximise the impact of safety signs, and to make them understood on an international level, the International Standardisation Organisation set out to create the ISO 7010 norm. That is why all safety signs in this guide are compliant with ISO 7010, and why it is advisable to comply This ISO 7010 Safety Signs with this norm whenever new Guide Book offers a checklist facilities become operational, or to compare safety signs in your when worn and faded safety signs facilities with ISO 7010 compliant are replaced. signs. It also offers a number of options and tools to apply and even create safety signs on-site.

3 The importance of ISO 7010 ISO 7010 prescribes safety signs for the purposes of accident prevention, fire protection, health hazard information and emergency evacuation. The purpose of the ISO 7010 standard is to introduce a globally recognisable range of safety pictograms. Many of these signs will be familiar, as the ISO norm builds on older, country specific norms. Some signs however are new introductions, approved by national standardisation committees in the International Standardisation Organisation (ISO). ISO 7010 is a norm, not a law, and in general, companies are not obliged to adopt ISO 7010 safety signs in workplaces. However, national legislation can refer to the ISO 7010 norm and when it does, ISO 7010 safety signs become mandatory, as is the case in France for example. Because of this, government bodies in several countries already advise companies to use ISO 7010 safety signs, especially • When new facilities need to be equipped with safety signs • When it is time to replace old, worn or faded safety signs 4 5 categories of ISO 7010 safety signs 5 categories of ISO 7010 compliant signs can be identified based on specific shape and colour combinations. These categories are: • Prohibition signs • Mandatory signs • Warning signs • Fire equipment & fire action signs • Safe condition & first aid signs All ISO 7010 compliant signs in this booklet, are presented by category according to shape and colour.

5 Other signs Not all signage is covered by the ISO 7010 norm. Next to ISO 7010 safety signs, look out for regulation on specific signage, such as: • GHS/CLP signs on pipes and containers carrying chemical substances and mixes • Sign regulations for specific industries and contexts, including GHS01 GHS02 GHS03 marine and water safety • Electrical safety signage • Lean signage, meant to increase workplace efficiency GHS04 GHS05 GHS06

GHS07 GHS08 GHS09

6 Prohibition signs Prohibition signs are used to instruct staff and visitors when certain behaviours or actions are not allowed. ISO 7010 prohibition signs always include a red circle and a red diagonal on a white background with a black standardised pictogram. Well known signs include the no- smoking sign, no photography, not drinking water and no open flame. Many more ISO 7010 compliant signs are available and even more signs are still in use that comply with older, non-international norms.

Use the following pages to compare prohibition signs in your facility with the ISO 7010 compliant prohibition signs. Every sign is shown with a short explanation and its official ISO 7010 number.

21 Safety sign reading distance How large a safety sign should be, depends on the distance people should be able to see it from. The diagram opposite shows potential pictogram dimensions to meet European Directives as closely as possible. Photoluminescent signs must be used where natural lighting is inadequate, especially to mark exits and emergency exits.

Safety colours and shapes Colour and geometric coding are extremely important for signage and safety. Fire-fighting Prohibition Specific colours warn about immediate danger to trigger a reflex to avoid it. equipment Combining a colour and a shape conveys a message, for example, the red circle Caution! Hazard risk is used for prohibition, the yellow triangle for hazards and a green square is an emergency route or a first aid instrument. The red square indicates a fire-fighting Emergency Evacuation & tool and a blue circular sign is used to communicate an obligation. First Aid

Obligation Indication or instruction

22 Signs in photolum

Brady also offers all ISO 7010 safety signs in photoluminescent ‘glow-in-the-dark’ materials. That means all signs in your facility will light up when everything else goes dark, in the event of a fire for example.

23 Fire equipment & fire action signs Fire equipment & fire action signs are used to quickly identify fire exits and fire equipment. ISO 7010 fire equipment & fire action signs always include a white square on a red background with a standardised white pictogram and an additional standardised ‘flame’ pictogram. Well known signs include the fire extinguisher sign, the fire alarm call point sign and the fire ladder sign. Many more ISO 7010 compliant signs are available and even more signs are still in use that comply with older, non-international norms.
