Ways to make site safety signs effective

From using  clear fonts, to using  symbols, from  incorporating bright colors to making signs stand out and easy to read, a lot can be done to ensure that the sign is visible to passerby and is effective to help avoid serious accidents. Read on to know small yet essential ways to make site signs more effective:

Use clear language

The Emirati population stands literate today with about 95% of both men and women aware of basics. Even then it's important for the sign to be in the simplest language ever so that signs can be easily understood and followed by the readers. 

Opt for laymen language so that even the youngest readers can understand what's written on construction site signage and any accidents can be avoided.

Ensure appropriate location

To avoid any confusions about the place it indicates, it’s important to place signs near the hazard or near risky area. Anywhere further away and people may miss it altogether and eventually end up in an accident.

Use clear graphics

Many times people passing by don’t have the time to read long signs. In that case, a more effective way to warn individuals is through symbols and graphics.  Symbols are not easily understandable by people of all ages, but a simple glance can help identify what lies ahead for the viewers. 

Moreover, even the most illiterate people can understand what symbols mean which adds to the effectiveness of site signs.

Use bright colors

 Red, white, yellow and black are some of the most popular colors used globally for site safety signage. Bright colors not only catch the attention easily but the sharp contrasts make the signs easier to spot even in the darkest times.

Use clear font

In case the signage is supposed to have written font over it, opt for a clear font that’s upper case and straight without any curvy styles.

Make it visible during the night

 LED, neon signs or other fluorescent material remains critical when designing site signs because it allows these signs to be visible during the night. Fluorescent coating ensures that the signs are not only easily spotted but spotted at a distance.

Create employee awareness

Regardless of how many people are at work, at the site, it's important for all employees to be aware of the exact meaning of the sign.  They can help out other people if need be.

Take away

Site signage such as for construction sites or site of accidents remains extremely important. All the more reasons to opt for effective signs. Site signs can be made effective by adopting the tips mentioned above.

In addition, it's important to hire experts of outdoor signage Dubai to assist with placement of site signage and designing proper designs to make them more useful.
