Safety first

These signs have a safety function, they are there to warn and inform you. These may well be standard signs but they contribute a great deal to the reduction of accidents and therefore help to save lives. e.g. Signs that direct you to emergency exits.

It is also possible to embed temperature sensitive crystals into the signs to either point out, or warn of very high or low temperatures.

The colours for the signs are defined in the German Industry Norm: DIN 5381.
