Use Custom Construction Signs on the Worksite

OSHA and ANSI Risk Severity Specifications

As mandated by OSHA and ANSI, construction site hazard signs are subject to three risk severity designations: danger, warning, and caution. Here are brief descriptions of each.

Danger signs are designed to alert workers to grave hazards that could result in significant injury or even death. They consist of the word “DANGER” printed in white atop a red background with the safety alert symbol (an exclamation point inside a triangle) printed above.

Warning signs alert people to threats that could cause serious harm or death. They differ from danger signs in that the overall risk is somewhat smaller. They are printed in black with an orange background and feature the safety alert triangle to the left of the word “warning”.

Finally, caution signs are designed to discourage unsafe workplace practices. While the risks they address typically only lead to minor injuries, it is never good when an employee gets hurt on the job. These signs feature a yellow background with the word “CAUTION” emblazoned across in black text and the safety alert symbol to the left of the text. Notice signs convey particular information related to a building, equipment, or general space, even in ways that do not necessarily apply to safety.

In addition to meeting the aforementioned requirements, you can rely on Super Cheap Signs for a comprehensive range of customized signage solutions such as:

Labeling Property

In addition to ensuring compliance, signs can also be used to label your property and provide instructions and warnings to workers operating particular machines. This will also serve the dual purpose of amplifying your logo’s visibility. While you can certainly use an adhesive decal for this task, a well-placed sign is also perfectly suitable, especially when it comes to increasing your visibility.

Choose From Two Durable Materials

Super Cheap Signs constructs their signs from two durable, weather-resistant, long-lasting materials: AlumaCorr and MDO panels. AlumaCorr consists of 10mm composite metal bonded to each side of an AlumaCorr plastic core. They are exceptionally sturdy, durable, and mobile. On the other hand, their MDO (medium density overlay) signs are comprised of plywood with a weather-resistant resin overlay. No matter which option you choose, both are extremely durable and perfect for outdoor use. Consequently, they are able to withstand the most ferocious elements, including sun, wind, and rain. Additionally, both are printed with resilient UV inks that will keep them looking pristine for years to come.

Choose From Two Durable Materials

As mentioned, it is possible to have a custom sign that still complies with OSHA and ANSI guidelines. Custom signs come in handy when you need to include a personalized message that could improve safety conditions in a particular area. For example, if you have a specific chemical that is creating a safety hazard, you could note that information on your bio-hazard sign.

Super Cheap Signs allows you to choose the text and overall size that is most suitable to your needs. MDO panels come in 2×4, 4×4, 4×6, and 4×8, while their AlumaCorr sheets are sold in 2×4, 4×4, 4×6, 4×8, 6×4, and 8×4. No matter the size, you are able to customize the text and color to your exact specifications.

Construction Signs For Building Sites

Keep in mind that construction signs for a building site are typically temporary. While this does mean that most signage is created for single use, there are a few obvious exceptions, such as “CAUTION” and “DANGER” signs.

When it comes to materials, some companies opt for vinyl or nylon banners, while others utilize building wraps that are typically constructed from some type of mesh. However, if you are looking for a more economically priced sign that could potentially be recycled at a later time, going with the yard sign format is usually the safest option.

Appeal To Natural Curiosity

People are inherently curious, which means that when they pass your site they will usually want to know what is going on. Fortunately, signs by Super Cheap Signs can be positioned on the ground or mounted on a fence for optimal visibility. You can also add some custom text that will answer specific questions, such as when the building will open, what it is and even a small advertisement for your company that could potentially land you another contract.
