“Safety signs serve multiple purposes, such as providing clear information about workplace hazards, standardizing safety procedures for employees and visitors, raising awareness of workplace safety and environmental protection, and acting as a risk control measure,” explained Anggi.
“The company is committed to creating a safe and comfortable work environment for all employees. Installing safety signs is a practical step to ensure that every individual has clear visual guidance to help them reduce occupational risks,” he added.
The safety signs are installed at critical points, including Production areas, Warehouses, Heavy vehicle pathways, and Evacuation zones.
