The entire OSHA Log 200 should not be posted, only a summary of the information on the form is required. Moving on into the workplace there are many area where Danger, Caution and Safety Instruction signs are required. There are standards describing the use, color scheme and design of these signs. Danger signs are red with black or white lettering and are used to warn of specific and immediate dangers. Signs marking fire protection equipment are also red and white.
Caution signs are yellow and black and warn against potential hazards or unsafe practices.
Safety instruction signs are green and white or black and white and are used where there is a need for general instructions and suggestions relative to safety measures. The easiest way to identify these locations is to think in terms of workplace hazards and the basic description of the signs. These are only a few samples of signs that may be required or merely recommended for your business or facility. For more information, contact an Universal Underwriters Account Executive. Appropriate precautions must also be taken if the Material Safety Data Sheet indicates that a solvent is flammable.
