A hazard sign is a visual symbol used to indicate the presence of a potential danger or risk in a specific area. These signs are often found in workplaces, construction sites, and public spaces to alert individuals to hazards such as chemicals, electrical risks, or physical dangers. They typically use bright colors and clear symbols to ensure visibility and understanding. Hazard signs are part of a broader system of safety communication, which includes labels, warnings, and safety data sheets. Common types of hazard signs include warning signs, danger signs, and caution signs, each conveying different levels of risk. Proper recognition and understanding of these signs are essential for maintaining safety.
