When it comes to safeguarding the health and safety of individuals, textual content undoubtedly serves as a valuable medium for conveying necessary information regarding caution and hazard. However, the visual element is of even greater importance.
The standards ISO 3864, ISO 7000:2019 and UNI EN ISO 7010:2022 have established a standardised visual graphic system capable of conveying safety information that is readily identifiable and comprehensible to individuals worldwide, irrespective of cultural, linguistic, or national differences.
The standardised warning signs (Safety Signs) in particular, are of great importance in ensuring the safety of citizens both as consumers and workers. The aim is to protect their health by making a safety message easily understandable through the same standardised warning sign anywhere in the world.
