For occupational safety, visual communication is crucial.

This is especially true in hazardous environments like mine sites.

Clear, high-quality safety signage is crucial for workers and site visitors. To pass OSH compliance checks, mine sites must have appropriate signage displayed advising of any potential hazards or safety requirements.

Care must be taken to use clear, visible signage made of durable, weather-resistant materials ensuring they will remain visible and effective.
