safety poster

Wall-mounted hazard warning

A safety poster is a printed sign displayed in workplaces, schools, or public spaces to remind people of hazards and safe practices.

Common subjects include proper lifting technique, emergency exits, protective equipment, and handwashing.

The genre has a distinctive visual style—bold colors, simple illustrations, imperative sentences: Lift with your legs, not your back.
