Safety Decal Placement or Location
Safety Decal Placement or Location
(OP)
I am designing safety decals, and providing drawings for where the decals are located. The problem I have has to do with determining the placement of the decal. I have not been able to locate a standard for large minig equipment safety decal placement. I tried AEM.org for info...no luck.
Any one have experience with placement of safety decal. Rule of thumb, standards, etc.?

If it's a localized threat, then it should be the first and prominent thing that a potential victim would see.
Warnings to the operator should be placed in close proximity to the controls that they address, etc.
There are various military specifications handbooks that address general guidelines:
MIL-STD-1472
MIL-HDBK-759
MIL-HDBK-46855
TTFN

Applicable OSHA standards also dictate label information/colors/placement
