Maintaining Safe Customer Journeys with Safety Signage

Mitigate potential liabilities from taking place on your property

4 min read

Did you know that safety signage is 90% more effective at keeping your facility safe than any other measures? For property owners and managers, maintaining the safety of your facility should be your number one priority to mitigate potential liabilities from taking place on your property. With a safe parking infrastructure reducing onsite injuries by up to 60%, there is no doubt that potential visitors will opt to use your facility over the competition. 

Installing safety signage throughout your facility is the first step to protecting the well-being of your visitors and your organization. So what types of safety signage are necessary for your facility? Below are the various types of safety sign products that will help ensure safe customer experiences.

One-Way Sign

A one-way sign will notify visitors that the designated lane way is one-way only, helping to reduce traffic congestion and/or traffic related incidents.

Pedestrian Sign

A pedestrian sign will notify drivers that pedestrians are actively walking throughout your facility, and to be mindful of their speed and driving practices.

Speed Limit Sign

A speed limit sign notifies visitors of the speed limit in your facility, ensuring the speed of all vehicles is safe and maintained.

Stop Sign 

In addition to a speed limit sign, a stop sign can prevent unsafe driving practices from occurring in your facility.

Do Not Enter Sign

A do not enter sign prohibits visitors from entering a designated area of your facility that may be hazardous to them.

Fire Route Sign

A fire route sign will alert visitors that parking is prohibited in this area, and it must be kept clear at all times in case of an emergency where the fire department is called.

Accessible Parking Sign

An accessible parking sign will ensure those identified with a disability have a safe and accessible spot to park. According to the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, the number of accessible parking spaces facilities should have varies. Facilities with more total parking spaces will need more accessible spaces than organizations with fewer total spaces.

Traffic Yield Sign

A traffic yield sign will aid in ensuring your visitors are yielding when necessary, such as at pedestrian crosswalks or merging points.

Although installing safety signage throughout your facility may seem like a quick fix, it is essential that, as a property owner or manager, you ensure the safety and wellbeing of your visitors at all times.
