Inspect your labels and signs regularly


Keeping a safety program functional isn't always easy. Often, it gets overlooked because it's a duty that gets passed from employee to employee.

If you've been handed the reigns of your facility's safety program, put your foot down and ensure your health and safety signs are inspected regularly. It very well could save a life, maybe even yours.

OSHA, ANSI, NFPA and the multitude of other required health and safety signs all demand regular inspections to maintain their upkeep. That means you need to check your signs, at the very least, every 6 months.

Some of the basic things to look for during your inspection, include:
  • Readability from a distance
  • Overall condition
  • Location visibility
  • Label or sign coverage (Would additional signs be beneficial?)
