Safety Signs

Warning

JALITE photoluminescent warning safety signs are proven to allow responsible persons to manage the risks of a hazard within a particular environment. Such hazards if not controlled can pose as a risk to injury, harm, or death for occupants of environments with hazardous works or substances. This includes works within factories, laboratories, construction areas and most workplace environments. Occupants must be cautious and aware of such risks whilst within these environments.

JALITE photoluminescent warning safety signs conform to BS ISO 3864-1:2011 with a yellow triangle with a black border. The graphical symbols of these safety signs also conform to BS EN ISO 7010:2020 and are available with or without supplementary text to improve comprehension, as specified in BS 5499-10:2014. Some of the warning safety signs we offer include warning flammable material, warning acetylene, warning explosion Risk, warning risk of falling, and warning bio-hazard and more available in various sizes.

SIGN TYPES

VIEWING DISTANCE

The expected viewing distance of a safety sign is described according to the Z factor. The Z factor is the ratio of the viewing distance divided by the sign height (graphical symbol height plus geometric shape according to BS EN ISO 7010:2020 image) - Direct line of sight.
