Employee safety is important. There are many hazards in the industrial/commercial work environment. Moving machinery components, hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical power, hot surfaces, and noise are examples of some of these hazards. Well designed equipment, proper guarding, state-of-the-art safety signs, employee training, and proper maintenance are essential to achieving an injury-free workplace. Safety signs play a key role in this objective because they serve three purposes:

• Even when appropriate design features and safety devices are incorporated into machinery, some residual risks may remain. Safety signs alert operators or other exposed persons about such residual risks.

• Safety signs not only describe hazards, they also instruct about how to avoid hazards. In doing so, they enable persons to take corrective action so accidents and injuries can be prevented.

• Often times safety signs can serve to remind persons about hazards that they may already be aware of. Even if a hazard is obvious, many accidents are the result of impulsive actions. Thus, a safety sign can remind people of injuries that could occur if the sign is ignored.

With the ever increasing risk of litigation, the need for state-of-the-art safety signs and labels has become virtually mandatory for equipment manufacturers. Lawsuits based on “Inadequate Warnings” have become the predominate form of product liability litigation in the United States. The fact is, if a personal injury occurs during the use or service of equipment and it did not have a well designed safety sign, there is a significant chance that the equipment manufacturer will be brought into a product liability lawsuit. How can the manufacturer prevent this from happening? If possible, the best remedy is to design the hazard out of the product or environment. If this cannot be done, effective guarding is your second option. Often guards are removed or circumvented. Using product warnings under guards acts as a second line of protection - both for the user and for the manufacturer. Designing out or guarding hazards should always be the first choice. But because of its function, some equipment can be dangerous; blades cut, gears crush, heated surfaces are hot. Such equipment can have hazards associated with its use and/or service. This is where warnings become an integral part of the product's design.
