- Aluminium – rigid and weather resistant.
- Photoluminescent – glows after the lights go out, useful for exit routes and fire equipment where offered.

Standards and the law
SANS 1186 is the South African standard for safety signs, covering symbols, colours and shapes. The Occupational Health and Safety Act places duties on employers to keep workplaces safe, and signage is part of that. We can supply the signs, but we cannot assess your premises or confirm legal compliance; your health and safety officer or consultant should advise which signs are needed and where. Our safety signage overview explains the basics.

Catalogue safety signs are ordered online at the listed price, with these lead-time options:
