The standard ANSI Z535 governs which aspect of workplace safety?

Safety signs and symbols are standardized to communicate hazards clearly and quickly in any workplace. ANSI Z535 sets the rules for how these signs look, including colors, shapes, and the exact symbols used, so workers can recognize danger and know what action to take at a glance, no matter where they are or who produced the sign. This consistency reduces misinterpretation and helps improve safety outcomes. Other safety topics—like where to place a fire extinguisher, electrical grounding practices, or the design of emergency exits—are governed by different codes and standards, not ANSI Z535.
