Safety Signs

In tech we have been learning about what types of safety signs there are and what each sign means here is some of the things I have learnt while studying the topic.

Types of Safety Signs:
Hazard signs: A hazard sign is a warning sign used to prevent harm (The biggest harm being death). A hazard sign is a yellow triangle with a black outline and a black picture in the middle.

Prohibited signs: A prohibited sign is a a don't do sign meaning that it is prohibited to do anything the sign says.The Reasons we have these signs is to prevent to from doing anything Risky. A prohibited sign is a sign with a red outline with a cross through it. The picture in these signs are black.

Mandatory Signs: A mandatory sign is a blue sign with a white outline. A mandatory sign is a must do sign meaning you have to do what ever the sign says.

Here are some examples of some of the meanings of signs:

This is a hazard sign. This hazard sign is
warning you about explosives or something that
could potentially explode 

This is a prohibited sign. This sign is stating
that you are not allowed to park your car where it is
This could be for many different reasons

This is a mandatory sign. This sign is saying that
you must wear safety glasses. This sign could
be found in places like
science labs 

As apart of learning about safety signs we had to make our own to use around the workshop here is mine:      

This is my sign. My sign is a hazard sign. The hazard that it is showing
is a welder. A welder is a hazard because it is
really really hot and it can cause harm. It also
sparks which is another hazard especially for
people who don't know that it does. I chose this
sign because i didn't think that my tech teacher
had this sign and because I knew that it was a big hazard that people
should be warned about.

Here are some pictures of what a welder and looks like:
