Safety sign production in Kenya

Safety signage with approved wording and placement specification

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional sign-production contract: print twelve 200 × 300 mm rigid indoor signs from a competent site assessor’s approved schedule: six forklift-warning signs and six eye-protection mandatory signs. The assessor supplies/approves symbol, wording, placement and applicable requirements. Use one documented print/substrate system. Exclude designing a workplace hazard plan, replacing physical controls with signs and claiming fluorescent or photoluminescent performance without evidence.
