South Africa's Occupational Health and Safety Act places a clear duty on employers to protect people in the workplace. Compliant OHS signage is not optional. It keeps workers informed, prevents incidents, and demonstrates that your organisation takes safety seriously. Signs-R-Us manufactures and installs OHS-aligned safety signage for construction, mining, industrial, commercial, and public-sector environments across South Africa.
SANS-Aligned Manufacturing
Indoor & Outdoor Ready
Occupational Health and Safety signage communicates hazards, instructions, restrictions, and emergency procedures in the fastest, clearest way possible. When people are moving quickly on a site, verbal instruction is not enough. A well-placed, durable sign works every second of every shift, regardless of language barriers or shift handovers.
Signs-R-Us produces OHS signage for both indoor and outdoor applications. Our signs are manufactured to withstand harsh South African conditions, including UV exposure, dust, moisture, and high-traffic environments. From a single sign to a full site package, we handle design, manufacturing, and professional installation.
Signs-R-Us manufactures the full range of OHS signage categories required on South African worksites. Each category has specific colour coding, symbol conventions, and placement requirements aligned to SANS 1186 and OHS Act obligations.
Yellow and black triangular signs that alert workers to potential hazards in the area, from overhead loads to electrical risks and chemical exposure.
Blue and white circular signs that instruct workers to follow specific safety procedures, such as wearing PPE, using harnesses, or following designated routes.
Red and white circular signs that communicate what is not permitted in a specific area, including no smoking, no unauthorised access, and no open flames.
Green and white signs that direct personnel to emergency exits, first aid stations, emergency contact points, and assembly areas in the event of an incident.
Red signs that identify fire equipment locations, fire hose reels, extinguisher types, and fire assembly points, keeping sites compliant with SANS fire safety requirements.
Wayfinding, procedural, and site-information signs that direct people, communicate site rules, and ensure everyone understands the layout and protocols of a facility.
Mining & Construction Proven
Signs-R-Us supplies OHS signage to some of South Africa's most demanding work environments. Our signs are manufactured to perform under UV, heat, wind, dust, and heavy site traffic. We work with project managers, health and safety officers, and procurement teams across a wide range of sectors. You can also browse our dedicated mining signage offering and our site safety products for broader site requirements.
Signage communicates the requirement. PPE and safety equipment help workers meet it. Signs-R-Us supplies a range of safety-related products to complement our signage offering, so your site can source more from a single, trusted supplier.
Mandatory signage specifying required PPE at site entry points, machinery zones, chemical storage areas, and confined spaces, manufactured to SANS 1186 standards.
Clear green and white first aid location signs, including cabinet identifiers and directional markers, ensuring workers can locate medical assistance without delay in an emergency.
SANS-aligned hazard labels and signage for chemical storage areas, flammable materials, corrosive substances, and restricted zones in industrial and mining environments.
Signs-R-Us supplies safety equipment and trailers as part of our broader product range, supporting road, construction, and infrastructure projects that need more than signage alone.
Complete indoor and outdoor safety signage packages for facilities, warehouses, commercial buildings, and manufacturing plants, covering all OHS Act-required signage categories in one supply.
Faded, damaged, or missing signs must be replaced promptly to remain compliant. Signs-R-Us offers signage maintenance and replacement supply to keep your site current and compliant.
Standard sign catalogues do not always account for site-specific hazards, unusual configurations, or engineer-specified requirements. Signs-R-Us operates an in-house design department and manufacturing facility, which means we can produce custom safety signage built to your exact specification, whether that is a unique hazard symbol, a bilingual warning panel, or a full site safety signage system designed from scratch.
Our team works directly with project managers, health and safety officers, and engineers to understand the specific risks on your site and produce signage that addresses them clearly and durably. You can learn more about compliant signage requirements in our article on construction site signage or read our guide on choosing the right safety signs.

From site entry gates to internal zones and exit routes, we design and supply complete signage systems for large-scale construction, mining, and infrastructure projects.
Site start dates do not move. Our in-house manufacturing capability means we can respond quickly to project timelines and bulk signage requirements without compromising quality.
