Designing & Installing Health and Safety Signs in Toronto
The Sign & Graphics Manufaktur provides high-quality signs, labels, and more to create safer working environments. Our customized health and safety signs are uniquely designed to help our customers increase the safety of their workplaces and ensure all equipment and staff comply with the health and safety regulations. Our friendly and resourceful customer service representatives will help you throughout the process, including confirming your products meet the required specifications and more.
When placing your safety signage, it is important to keep several things in mind:
- Spread your signs throughout the area, as workers may not pay attention to too many in one space.
- Move your signs every so often to ensure all workers see them.
Designing Construction & Caution Signs
Some businesses need to install safety and/or health signs for employees as a rule. Most businesses, however, need basic safety signs such as fire exit signs, wet floor alerts (caution signs), and similar safety signs. The purpose of safety signs is to provide information or instruction about health and safety.
Health and safety signs are usually placed on a signboard, and simple combinations of symbols and images are used to convey messages at a glance. For instance, the image of a skull near high-voltage points is a classic example of danger.
Appropriate colours and symbols can warn employees of hazards and are essential to safety at work.
Employers need to provide and maintain safety signs where there is significant risk to health and safety. Construction sites and manufacturing plants are examples where proper installation of health and safety signs is extremely important.

Custom Construction Safety Signage Tailored to Your Needs
Construction sites face specific risks that generic signs can’t always address. That’s why we offer custom construction signs that align with your site layout, activities, and Ontario’s regulatory standards. Whether you need large-format building site health and safety signs, specialized hazard labels, or bilingual signage, we’ll create high-impact, durable signage tailored to your environment.
These custom solutions are especially useful for managing large projects, ensuring visibility in high-traffic zones, and accommodating evolving site needs over time.
Compliance with Ontario’s Construction Site Signage Requirements
Under Ontario law, construction sites must display signage that meets strict criteria outlined in the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and local bylaws. These regulations cover:
- Visibility and size requirements
- Placement for hazard identification
- WHMIS labelling
- Language accessibility (English and French where needed)
At The Sign & Graphics Manufaktur, we’re well-versed in these regulations and will ensure your signage is fully compliant — avoiding costly fines and protecting your workforce.
