OSHA recently celebrated the fact that workplace injuries and illnesses have drastically dropped over 30 years. From 10.9 per 100 people in 1972, the number has since fallen to 2.7 in 2022. If your workplace exceeds that number, you may need to investigate how to communicate better safety standards to your employees.

However, do you know how to go about that, or do you find standard signage somewhat lacking?

​Durable Safety Signs offers more than an array of safety signs that meet OSHA standards. Our safety sign shop will also work with you to find the best OSHA compliance solutions and create custom signs that match your unique needs. Read on to learn more about everything we offer and how we can collaborate with your workplace to ensure your employees remain safe and OSHA-compliant.

We understand that the materials used to produce signs can significantly affect their durability. While there are no OSHA-specific rules on what you can make signs from, they must always remain legible and effective in communicating their contents while in use. As such, it is logical to assume that a more durable sign will remain compliant for much longer before it needs replacing.

Durable Safety Signs uses durable materials, such as plastic and aluminum, which are known for their resistance to most everyday materials. Partnering with a trusted label-printing company, we also ensure that any coating and printed information on the sign itself is secure, allowing it to remain on the sign for longer.

​Together with our manufacturing partners, we ensure that our signs are:

When working in an area likely to include harsher chemicals, we can advise you on the best sign choice to prevent damage to them. You can then rest assured that they will be able to warn employees of potential issues long into the future, thus helping you avoid long-term costs associated with frequent sign replacement. It also means that you will not be as likely to have sign degradation problems that will likely lead to compliance failure.

Some workplaces may have unique needs, such as:

Here at Durable Safety Signs, we are more than happy to discuss your needs to handle your specific scenario and match OSHA specifications. We will be up-front about potential scientific limitations, allowing you to decide how best to move forward and ensuring you always have the most effective safety signage possible.

​Alternatively, your requirements may be more straightforward. Perhaps you want your safety signs to include:

We can work with you to ensure that we fulfill your needs. If we believe a change will impact your OSHA compliance, we can discuss the mandate in question to ensure the sign fits all requirements and does not leave you potentially at fault.

OSHA mandates state that all signs must be visible during work times. This requirement may be more challenging if your workplace often has low-light conditions. For example:

To assist with this, we can advise you on the best materials and sign construction to give you the highest visibility possible. Options for this include:

We can advise you on appropriate sign placement to ensure visibility from as many locations as possible. You can then reduce the number of signs you need while increasing safety by allowing more people to understand OSHA's safety requirements.

In an area where you are likely to have a significant percentage of non-English speaking employees, you must still ensure they understand safety standards and procedures. Signs featuring multiple languages can thus ensure all staff receive vital hazard and injury prevention information.

Our designers can adjust signs as necessary, ensuring they remain readable despite needing different languages. If a sign must be more prominent to fulfill that requirement, we will discuss your options to ensure you get the best result possible.

​On top of producing custom signage for a diverse workplace, Durable Safety Signs also leverage the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). The CDC and OSHA specify the use of this system to ensure that you clearly communicate the dangers of specific chemicals. As such, we reflect that intent by leveraging the same chemical danger symbols to protect the safety of all individuals in your workplace.

We understand that sometimes groups like OSHA change their signage requirements frequently. Staying current with these regulations sometimes means updating signs to maintain compliance and avoid the potential of penalties or citations.

Our safety sign shop always remains up-to-date on the latest regulatory updates. As such, we can provide businesses with clear information about what they must include in a sign.

​Our sign templates are also customizable enough that you can often still create signs that match your unique requirements based on your industry or workplace. If there are times when a change you request would cause you to fail an inspection, we will warn you to ensure that you do not fall foul of such a requirement

Partnering with a professional safety sign shop can ensure that you not only comply with OSHA requirements but exceed them. Durable Safety Signa can work with you to offer increased employee safety, no matter what you need.
