PDF · 17 pages · English · IS Codes
IS 9457:2005 is the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) code of practice that establishes requirements for the use of safety colours and safety signs in workplaces and public areas. The standard aims to prevent accidents, improve hazard communication, support fire protection, provide health and safety information, and facilitate emergency evacuation through a standardized visual safety communication system. The standard defines safety colours, graphical symbols, sign design principles, safety marking requirements, luminance and visibility considerations, and the use of safety signs that communicate essential safety information without reliance on written language. It aligns with international practices and is based on ISO 3864-1 principles for safety signs and workplace safety communication.
