Accident Prevention Signs and Tags §1910.145
            What is Covered?
            The specifications found in the OSHA regulations are intended to 
            cover all safety signs except those designed for streets, highways, 
            railroads, and marine regulations. These specifications do not apply 
            to plant bulletin boards or to safety posters.
 
Sign Design
            All signs must have rounded or blunt corners and should not have any 
            sharp edges, burrs, splinters or other sharp projections. The ends 
            or heads of bolts or other fastening devices shall be located in 
            such a way that they do not constitute a hazard.
            
Sign Colors
            Danger signs are to be red, black, and white.
            Caution signs are to be yellow background, black letters.
            Slow-moving vehicle signs are to be fluorescent yellow-orange 
            triangles, with a dark red reflective border.
            The biological hazard warning is to be fluorescent orange or 
            orange-red, with lettering or symbols in a contrasting color.
            
Wording
            The wording of any sign should:
            •     be easily read and to the point;
            •     contain sufficient, easy-to-understand information;
            •     make a positive suggestion, and
            •     be accurate in fact.
