ANSI Z535 (Safety Signs and Colors)

ANSI Z535 is a set of standards developed by the American National Standards Institute that provides guidelines for safety signs, colors, and symbols. Its purpose is to ensure clear communication of safety hazards in various settings, such as workplaces or public areas. The standard categorizes signs into different types, like warning, caution, and emergency, each represented by specific colors—such as red for danger and yellow for caution. By using consistent signage, ANSI Z535 helps individuals recognize and understand potential risks, enabling them to take appropriate action to avoid accidents and injuries.
