As an employer, it is normal for you to become concerned about the welfare of your employees. It is perfectly fine if you find yourself buying a bunch of caution signs to display around your place of work. However, if you do not know how to install the signage in the right places, you cannot assure that the signs become effective tools in communicating OHS messages to the personnel. So if you do not want your effort to be put to waste, learn about the proper process of installing caution signs in the workplace.
The first thing that you should do is to determine all of the high-risk areas of your facility. Think of all the places where people could possibly encounter hazard if they do not behave properly. With all these in mind, you already have an idea where to put all of the caution signs into place.
Next off, identify the specific area where you can install the signage. Study which particular part of the surface will easily catch the attention of people and fix the appropriate type of caution signs there. If you are not sure about the spot or if you feel that it does not belong to a person's line of sight, then consult your colleagues. Together with them, test the effectiveness of the caution signs by having a few people study the position and assess it. After a few tests, you can now install the signs on the spots that are highly visible for everyone.
