It is the employers' responsibility to convey all of the correct signage and maintain the safety in their workplace. Ensuring that your workplace is a safe condition for your employees and visitors is a critical part of your business. You must comply with the latest regulations and highlight any significant risk in the area. This will show the particular hazard or danger, and the sign or symbol will then provide instructions on what to do. For example, on a machine, it will show pictograms to indicate the correct protocol or workwear for that particular job.Health and Safety Symbol Colour Meaning
