If you have ever got a chance to visit a warehouse or any factory, then there you would have surely noticed several vivid, solidly colored safety flooring signs plastered on the flooring. The main purpose of these signs is to give guidance about few things, which you must know. They are known, as safety floor signs. Though they look simple and perhaps some people consider them as purposeless but actually they are the instrumental tools that play an important role in maintaining the health and welfare of the workers of the warehouse or that particular factory.
For example, some of such types of signs are meant to handle the flow of traffic through a particular area, keeping in view the thing that the users as well as heavy mobile equipment like forklifts, travel through the area, and there is a big risk of their collision that may cause serious injury to the collided person. Therefore safety floor signs with arrows are placed on such locations so that dangerous incidents can be avoided. Let us reveal you some basic information about the forklift sign that you generally observe in the warehouses and the purpose of placing this sign is to give warning to the people that forklifts pass through this location, therefore it is obligatory for the people passing through that area to first ensure their safety. Similarly you can find some stop signs and yield signs as well and the purpose of these signs is to indicate the wheeled machine operators to be ware of the people who are either present there or just passing through the location, so that an embarrassing pile-up can be avoided. There is a sign, which inform the workers that a passageway is reserved for the use of forklifts, in the same way there is another sign as well, which indicates the forklift drivers that a particular way is meant for pedestrians only.
Moreover, you can see some signs, which mean you need to adopt or avoid a particular behavior because behaving contrary to what is indicated in the sign can be dangerous. For example there is a sign of "No Smoking" so if you find such sign then you should avoid smoking because it is possible that specific area contains highly flammable substances, so smoking in such areas is very risky. Similarly there is another sign, which says the workers should use safety spectacles to protect their eyes against flying sparks.
