Health & Safety Signs in Toronto – Designed for Compliance & Workplace Safety
Health and safety signs play a critical role in protecting employees, customers, and visitors across workplaces in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. At The Sign & Graphics Manufaktur, we design and produce OHSA- and WHMIS-compliant safety signage that helps businesses meet legal requirements while creating safer, more organized environments.
From construction sites and manufacturing facilities to offices, warehouses, and public spaces, our custom safety signage solutions are built for visibility, durability, and regulatory accuracy.
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 periodically to ensure all workers can see them.
Workplace & Construction Safety Signage Solutions
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.
Common applications include:
- Construction sites
- Industrial facilities
- Warehouses & logistics hubs
- Retail & commercial buildings
- Healthcare & public facilities
Employers need to provide and maintain safety signs where there is a significant risk to health and safety. Construction sites and manufacturing plants are examples where the proper installation of health and safety signage 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 safety signs that align with your site layout, activities, and Ontario’s regulatory standards. When 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.

Ontario Compliance & Regulatory Standards
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.
