(2.2)Occasional signs

(2.2.1)Illuminated signs, acoustic signals and/or verbal communication must be used where the occasion requires, taking into account the possibilities for interchanging and combining signs set out in paragraph 3, to signal danger, to call persons to take a specific course of action and for the emergency evacuation of persons.

(2.2.2)Hand signals and/or verbal communication must be used where the occasion requires, to guide persons carrying out hazardous or dangerous manoeuvres.

(3)

(3.1)Any one of the following may be used if equally effective:• a safety colour or a signboard to mark places where there is an obstacle or a drop,• illuminated signs, acoustic signals or verbal communication,• hand signals or verbal communication.

(3.2)Some types of signs may be used together:• illuminated signs and acoustic signals,• illuminated signs and verbal communication,• hand signals and verbal communication.

(4)The instructions in the table below apply to all signs incorporating a safety colour.

Colour	Meaning or purpose	Instructions and information
Red—	Prohibition signDanger alarmFire-fighting equipment	Dangerous behaviourStop, shutdown, emergency cut out devices, EvacuateIdentification and location
Yellow or Amber—	Warning sign	Be careful, take precautionsExamine
Blue—	Mandatory sign	Specific behaviour or actionWear personal protective equipment
Green—	Emergency escape, first aid signNo danger	Doors, exits, routes, equipment, facilitiesReturn to normal

(5)The effectiveness of a sign must not be adversely affected by:

(5.1)the presence of another emission source of the same type which interferes with visibility or audibility; therefore, in particular,

(5.1.1)the placing of too many signs too close together should be avoided;

(5.1.2)two illuminated signs which are likely to be confused are not to be used at the same time;

(5.1.3)an illuminated sign is not to be used in the proximity of another similar illuminated source;

(5.1.4)two acoustic signals are not to be used at the same time;

(5.1.5)an acoustic signal is not to be used if there is too much ambient noise;

(5.2)poor design, insufficient number, incorrect positioning, poor state of repair or incorrect functioning of the signs or signalling devices.

(6)Depending on requirements, signs and signalling devices must be cleaned, maintained, checked, repaired, and if necessary replaced on a regular basis to ensure that they retain their intrinsic and/or functional qualities.

(7)The number and positioning of signs or signalling devices to be installed will depend on the extent of the hazards or dangers or on the zone to be covered.

(8)Signs requiring some form of power must be provided with a guaranteed emergency supply in the event of a power cut, unless the hazard has thereby been eliminated.

(9)The triggering of an illuminated sign and/or acoustic signal indicates when the required action should start; the sign or signal must be activated for as long as the action requires. Illuminated signs and acoustic signals must be reactivated immediately after use.

(10)Illuminated signs and acoustic signals must be checked to ensure that they function correctly and that they are effective before they are put into service and subsequently at sufficiently frequent intervals.

(11)If the hearing or the sight of the workers concerned is impaired, including impairment by the wearing of personal protective equipment, measures must be taken to supplement or replace the signs concerned.

(12)Areas, rooms or enclosures used for the storage of significant quantities of hazardous substances or mixtures must be indicated by a suitable warning sign taken from paragraph 3.2 of Part II, or marked as provided in paragraph 1 of Part III, unless the labelling of individual packages or containers is adequate for this purpose. If there is no equivalent warning sign in paragraph 3.2 of Part II to warn about hazardous chemical substances or mixtures, the relevant hazard pictogram, as laid down in Annex V to the CLP Regulation, must be used.

Part VI · Minimum requirements for illuminated signs

(1)

(1.1)The light emitted by a sign must produce a luminous contrast which is appropriate to its environment, in accordance with the intended conditions of use of the sign, but without producing glare for an excessive amount of light or poor visibility as a result of insufficient light.

(1.2)The luminous area emitting a sign may be of a single colour or contain a pictogram on a specified background.

(1.3)The single colour must correspond to the table of colours and their meanings set out in paragraph 4 of Part I.

(1.4)Likewise, when the sign contains a pictogram, the latter must comply with all the relevant rules set out in Part II.

(2)

(2.1)If a device can emit both continuous and intermittent signs, the intermittent sign should be used to indicate a higher level of danger or a more urgent need for the requested/imposed intervention or action than is indicated by the continuous sign.• The duration of each flash and the frequency of the flashes of an intermittent illuminated sign must be such as to:• ensure the proper perception of the message, and• avoid any confusion either between different illuminated signs or with a continuous illuminated sign.

(2.2)If a flashing sign is used insteada of, or together with, an acoustic signal, identical codes must be used.

(2.3)Devices for emitting flashing signs in the event of grave danger must be under special surveillance or be fitted with an auxiliary lamp.

Part VII · Minimum requirements for acoustic signals

(1)

(1.1)Acoustic signals must:

(a)have a sound level which is considerably higher than the level of ambient noise, so that it is audible without being excessive or painful;

(b)be easily recognizable, particularly in terms of pulse length and the interval between pulses or groups of pulses, and be clearly distinct from any other acoustic signal and ambient noises.

(1.2)If a device can emit an acoustic signal at variable and constant frequencies, the variable frequency should be used to indicate a higher level of danger or a more urgent need for the requested/imposed intervention or action in relation to the stable frequency.

(2)The signal for evacuation must be continuous.

(1.3)Verbal communication is direct (by means of the human voice) or indirect (by means of a human or artificial voice which is broadcast by whatever means is appropriate).

(2)

(2.1)The persons involved must have a good knowledge of the language used so that they are able to pronounce and understand the spoken message correctly and consequently behave in a way which is appropriate to health and/or safety.

(2.2)If verbal communication is used instead of, or together with, gestures, code wors should be used such as:

—start	to indicate the start of a command.
—stop	to interrupt or end a movement.
