Safety Signs and Warning Labels for Every Workplace

Workplace safety signs tell people at a glance where the hazards are, which rules apply and how to get out in an emergency. Whether you run a factory, a construction site, a warehouse, a hospital or an office, putting the right sign in the right place helps prevent accidents and is part of your legal duty as an employer. Ilgi Trafik manufactures its safety signs at its own factory in Akyurt, Ankara, and sells them directly. This category covers a wide range of signs, from hard hat and hearing protection notices to chemical, dust and radiation hazards, emergency exits and compressor rooms.

What Safety Sign Colours and Shapes Mean

Colour and shape form a shared language that people understand without reading a single word. Start by deciding what kind of message you need:

• Prohibition signs: a red circle with a diagonal bar that forbids unsafe actions such as lighting fires, using the lift or carrying heavy loads by hand.
• Warning signs: a yellow triangle that flags hazards such as flammable or corrosive substances, noise or hot surfaces.
• Mandatory signs: a blue circle that states required actions such as wearing a hard hat, gloves or a dust mask.
• Emergency and first aid signs: a green square or rectangle that marks exits, escape directions and how a door opens.
• Fire safety signs: a red square or rectangle that shows the location of firefighting equipment and fire instructions.

Materials, Finishes and Sizes

Most signs can be ordered in a material that suits the location. Vinyl stickers go straight onto flat surfaces such as machines, doors and cabinets. 3 mm PVC (dekota) boards are light and rigid, ideal for indoor walls. Galvanized steel plates stand up to impact and weather on outdoor sites and production floors. Besides the standard print, you can choose photoluminescent (glow in the dark) and reflective finishes. Sizes range from A5 to A2 depending on the product, and some signs are also available in square formats. For custom sizes, custom wording or branded signs, please get in touch.

Where and How to Put Up Safety Signs

A sign that warns of a specific hazard belongs right next to that hazard, while a warning that applies to a whole area should be placed at its entrance. Mount signs where they are easy to see and keep them clear of stock and equipment. In dim corridors and stairwells, a photoluminescent finish works best. Remove a sign once the hazard is gone, otherwise people start to ignore warnings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are safety signs mandatory in Turkey? Yes. Occupational Health and Safety Law No. 6331 and the Health and Safety Signs Regulation require suitable safety signs wherever the risk assessment shows that a risk cannot be avoided or sufficiently reduced.

Which material should I choose? PVC suits indoor walls, vinyl stickers suit machines and cabinets, and galvanized steel suits outdoor areas and construction sites. Pick a photoluminescent finish for signs that must stay visible during a power cut.

What are the shipping and return terms? Shipping is free on orders of 2,500 TL and above, and you can return products free of charge within 14 days (custom-made items excluded).
