A safety first sign is a safety-instruction sign under OSHA 1910.145 and 1926.200(e). It uses a green header with white letters on a white background, with the message in black. Green is the OSHA color for general safety and instructional information, which is different from the red used for danger and the yellow used for caution. Our safety first signs follow that format so they read as an official safety message.
Required Danger and Caution signs mark specific hazards, while safety first signs build the everyday habit around them. They act as a constant reminder to work safely and show that management takes safety seriously. Think of them as reinforcement between your mandatory hazard signs, not a replacement for them. Reminders like Be Careful, Be Aware, Be Safe keep the message present.
Yes. We offer ANSI-format safety first signs that use the green safety first header, the message legend, and a pictogram in the layout ANSI specifies. ANSI and OSHA both recognize the green safety-instruction format, so an ANSI safety first sign reads correctly in a workplace that follows either system. Custom ANSI and bilingual versions are available.
Post safety first signs where people will see them repeatedly. Good spots are entrances, break rooms, time clocks, stairwells, and busy walkways. Mount them at eye level in a well-lit, unobstructed place, roughly 4 to 7 feet from the floor for a wall sign. Because they reinforce rather than mark a single hazard, the goal is frequent visibility rather than a specific regulated location.
Yes. For a jobsite, use reflective aluminum reminders and large-format banners that read from a distance, plus PPE reminders such as the Safety First PPE sign and Fasten Seat Belt When Using Forklift. Pair them with the required construction site hazard signs.
Yes. Start from a custom Safety First template, add your own wording and graphics, and choose English, Spanish, or bilingual. It is a simple way to post your company slogan or a warehouse-specific rule.

We make safety first signs that keep safety top of mind and reinforce your safety culture every day. Unlike a Danger or Caution sign that marks a specific hazard, a safety first sign carries a general message. For example, it might tell workers to report all accidents, wear their PPE, keep the area clean, or simply think safety. Because they build the habit rather than flag one hazard, they work best at entrances, break rooms, and high-traffic spots, and come as signs, floor signs, banners, and decals.
