It sounds unbelievable: a simple, laminated vinyl sign—costing less than the price of lunch—standing between your company and a crippling five-figure OSHA fine.
But that’s exactly what’s happening in facilities across the country. One overlooked detail in your workplace signage could be the reason an OSHA inspector hands you a citation… or walks away with nothing but a checklist full of green lights.
Welcome to the world of safety signage compliance, where small mistakes come with big consequences—and where one company is making it easier (and more affordable) than ever to get it right.
Many safety managers and compliance officers assume that if a sign is up, legible, and sort of says what it needs to say… that’s enough.
It’s not.
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and ANSI (American National Standards Institute) have specific guidelines for workplace signage—covering everything from font size and color to wording, symbols, and materials. If your signage doesn’t meet these evolving standards, your company is vulnerable to:
That’s where Durable Safety Signs comes in.
Durable Safety Signs is shaking up the safety industry by doing one thing exceptionally well: producing OSHA and ANSI compliant safety signs made from laminated vinyl with permanent adhesive backing.
Their mission?
Make it effortless for safety managers to stay compliant without overspending.
Each sign is engineered to meet or exceed federal compliance standards and comes with a surprisingly bold guarantee: If it fails under normal operating conditions, it will be replaced free—for 5 years.
“When OSHA came through last fall, they flagged two of our older signs that had faded and no longer met the color contrast requirements,” said Jamie L., a safety manager at a Midwest manufacturing plant. “We had just ordered new signs from Durable Safety Signs the week before. They passed inspection with flying colors. That order cost me $60 and probably saved us over $16,000.”
Stories like Jamie’s are increasingly common. Inspectors are cracking down—and signs are one of the easiest targets during a walkthrough.
Think about it: When was the last time you reviewed your facility’s signage for compliance?
Are any signs:
If you said “yes” to even one of those, you could be at risk. But the fix is simple—and surprisingly affordable.
When a $10 solution can prevent a $16,550 fine, the choice is obvious.

And with free shipping on orders over $35, bulk discounts up to 20%, and a rock-solid 5-year warranty, there’s no reason to settle for signs that might pass inspection.
