1. Safety signs: colours and shapes

Safety signs are very important because the oil and gas industry has many hazards. Hazards are possible dangers like electricity, chemicals, hot things, gas, machines, noise, falling objects, and slippery surfaces. There are four main kinds of safety signs:

• Black and yellow triangles.

These signs warn us about hazards.

• Blue and white circles

These signs tell us “You must wear or do the thing in the picture”

• Red and white circles

These signs usually have a red band across them. They tell us we must not do things.

• Green and white squares or rectangles

These signs give information about safety.
