EEVA | Signage and safety features

It is forbidden to unjustifiably remove or circumvent safety features and signage.

Safety features are part of the hardware: they are usually technical means that help reduce risks. Examples include a railing or safety valves. If these are removed incorrectly, this immediately leads to a possible incident.

Signage, on the other hand, has the function of alerting everyone.

What does the risk consist of?
How serious is the risk?

Examples are safety labels on recipients and pipe markings.

Others are safety ribbons and scaffolding plates or signs " No entry. Confined space.”

Traffic signs also fall into this category, as does signage on railroad tracks.

Signage should support everyone's correct behaviour and is thereofore extremely important as a preventive tool.
