OSHA Compliant Signs

Safety signs, labels and tags are an important part of your safety communication program. If you are making your own safety signs and labels, it is important to follow the OSHA requirements.

OSHA has published the reqirements for accident prevention signs and tags (1910.145OSHA). It covers the design, application and use of safety signs and symbols. The OSHA specifications cover "all safety signs except those designed for streets, highways, railroads, and marine regulations." They do not apply to bulletin boards or safety posters.
