Common Places To Find Warning Labels

Warning labels are everywhere, but where are the most common places to find them?

At Home

Even if you don’t leave your house all day, chances are you will see a warning or safety label at some point during the day. An example of this may be a safety label on your home appliance, like hoover, kettle, cooker or dishwasher. A product may come with safety instructions for building or assembling it. Cosmetics and even your clothes have warnings, even if it is just to warn you not to tumble dry.

In the Workplace

At work multiple warnings will be available. For instance, a hot water caution in the rest room or evacuation procedures. There may be an indication of specialist attire or uniform that is to be worn to prevent injury to employees or visitors. Hospitals have warnings and safety signage to protect staff and patients to prevent the spread of infection and on equipment.

Public Locations

Throughout days out we will encounter various warning and safety signage. If travelling on public transport there will be multiple warnings throughout a journey, from the station, airport or stop to disembark, warnings will be visible to protect customers and staff.

Public houses, heritage sites, swimming pools, cinemas and all other places to visit have their own individual hazards that they need to notify users of.

The Most Common?

The most common place…happens to be everywhere! However, the significant importance of having the safety signage differs dependent on the severity and number of hazards present at that particular location.

Accidents can happen anywhere and at any time, therefore it is important for people to be made aware of any potential hazards. Whether these be on equipment to use, places to visit or transport to travel it is important to highlight any risk, so people operating, visiting or travelling are informed.
