Categorization of water safety signs

Water safety signs are categorized according to their function as follows:

⎯ E is the category for means of escape and emergency equipment signs (safe condition signs);

⎯ M is the category for mandatory action signs;

⎯ P is the category for prohibition signs;

⎯ W is the category for warning signs

Table 2 summarizes the standardized safety signs used in workplaces and public areas in terms of function category, graphical symbol and geometric shape and colour as specified in ISO 3864-1

Tables 3 to 6 present safety sign originals in a standardized 70 mm size, featuring corner marks for precise scaling The illustrations are borderless to facilitate consistent reproduction, although incorporating borders as per ISO 3864-1 is recommended It is essential to reproduce the safety signs exactly as depicted, but some graphical modifications are allowed to accommodate cultural differences or specific application formats, as long as the original meaning and comprehension are preserved Consistent use of these safety signs will enhance understanding at the international level.

In cases where the orientation of the symbol is not essential to its meaning, the orientation may be changed

A graphical symbol may be depicted in outline or filled-in form

Tables 3 to 6 present the safety sign originals according to their category as follows:

⎯ E Means of escape and emergency equipment signs (safe condition signs) see Table 3

⎯ M Mandatory action signs see Table 4

⎯ W Warning signs see Table 6 Tables 3 to 6 also give a description of the application used for each safety sign

In aquatic environments; water safety, aquatic safety

Test data compliant with ISO 9186-1 is accessible from multiple countries, revealing that the graphical symbol surpasses acceptability criteria To enhance understanding, a supplementary text sign can be utilized; however, if the safety sign is accompanied by manuals, instructions, or training, the additional text may not be necessary.

To indicate the location of a safe place/uphill area for evacuation to in the event of a tsunami

Evacuation from coastal/beach zone towards higher place/hill in the event of an earthquake or when a tsunami warning has been issued

Remaining in the costal/beach zone or running in the sea or wrong direction when a tsunami warning has been issued

Tsunami mitigation plans are essential for civil protection agencies, but they must be enhanced with clear signage directing the public to evacuation areas Without proper indications of these locations and the routes to reach them, individuals are at risk of injury or drowning during a tsunami event.

Multiple signs in relevant coastal/beach zones and evacuation routes, notices, safety manuals

In tsunami hazard zones, evacuation routes to designated tsunami evacuation areas must be marked with the WSE002 sign, accompanied by the appropriate directional arrow, either ISO 7010-E005 or ISO 7010-E006 The WSE002 sign is essential for indicating the location of a tsunami evacuation area.

The Japanese government has conducted extensive research on a water safety sign, which UNESCO has requested as part of a management strategy to mitigate tsunami wave impacts The chosen design has demonstrated the highest comprehension results, tailored to the unique circumstances of tsunami hazards Additional text will be utilized to enhance understanding, unless the safety sign is accompanied by manuals, instructions, or training.

To indicate the location of a safe building for evacuation in the event of a tsunami

Human figure between a building and a tsunami wave

Tsunami wave originating from an ocean-floor seismic event in which people could be caught if they have not reached the tsunami evacuation building
