National Summary

OSHA regulates the form and content of many safety signs and tags. The agency's Specifications for Accident Prevention Signs and Tags regulation (29 CFR 1910.145) tells employers what colors, shapes, and wording to use to provide safety information and warnings. In addition, the regulation specifically requires that employees be provided with training so that they can recognize the different kinds of signs and tags and take action based on the messages they contain.
