Danger sign or warning sign? Choosing the right format

The two are not interchangeable and the distinction is meaningful. A danger sign marks a hazard that will cause death or serious injury if ignored - live electrical equipment, an unguarded drop, a confined space. A warning sign, black on a yellow triangle, marks a hazard that could cause injury but is a step below that. Using DANGER for a moderate hazard dilutes it, and the cost of dilution is that people stop reading the red ones. AS 1319 sets out the conventions: danger is white on a red oval over black, warning is black on yellow, mandatory instructions are white on a blue disc, prohibitions are a red ring and diagonal slash, emergency information is white on green and fire equipment is white on red. Keep the wording short, specific and about the hazard itself rather than the rule.

Common uses

Construction and industrial sites, plant rooms, switchrooms, confined-space entries, workshops and farms - anywhere the hazard is site-specific. For standard legends see our stocked versions such as Danger Keep Out and Danger Live Wires, or browse more fire and safety equipment at MediBC.
