Labeling

Resources for Workplace Safety Labeling

Every workplace needs to have safety signs and labels, whether they are as simple as reminders about no smoking areas or as specific as a label identifying the contents of a pipe running along the ceiling. Your workplace might need safety labels, Globally Harmonized System (GHS) labels, pipe marking labels, first aid labels, fire safety labels, and way-finding signage. Some signs, such as Caution or Warning signs, must meet certain requirements for format, colors, headings, and text. Others might use a format or color scheme set by your organization. Regardless, these labels need to be eye-catching, easy to read, and capable of holding up to the conditions of your workplace (hot, cold, wet, etc.).
