Why Customize
Often the format and content of ‘off-the-shelf’ safety sign and safety label designs will not convey the exact information you need to communicate to your intended audience. “Close” is not good enough. When your sign or label does not accurately convey the nature of your hazard or the measures needed to avoid your hazard, accidents are more likely to happen.
Clear and Accurate Customization

A Look at Your Options
Below are just a few of the customization options available for you.
- Multi-hazard safety signs and labels incorporate multiple messages into a single design. This type of formatting is useful to reduce “sign clutter” and make installation easier. Using a standards-based approach, Clarion Safety can customize your sign or label to have as many text messages and symbols as you require.
- Additional symbols can be added to a safety sign or label to communicate more information in visual form. Symbols are the new language of safety, better communicating important information to an international audience. Your customized safety signs and labels can show additional hazard symbols and/or symbols that visually convey hazard avoidance procedures.
- Safety notices convey general safety information not directly related to personal injury, such as installation or maintenance information, or information related to accidents that result in equipment damage. We can customize your safety notice signs and labels to meet your exact requirements.
- Safety instructional messages are custom tailored to convey specific procedural information. Note that the ANSI Z535 standards allow the signal words “SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” to be made more specific, like “SAFE BOILER SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE” or “LOCKOUT PROCEDURE.” We can create a separate SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS label or sign, or add this content as an additional panel to an existing or customized DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION label design.
- Symbol-only safety signs and labels are used to communicate safety messages across language barriers. Use of these formats works for simple messages; more complex messages may need to be reinforced with words or by training materials. Clarion Safety can custom develop new safety symbols, if needed, and/or combine symbols to form a single, combined symbol-only safety sign or label design.
