Abstract:

Safety signs can alert the staff to dangerous situation of the workplace or the surrounding environment and guide people to take reasonable actions so as to avoid accidents and mitigate the consequences of accidents. But unreasonable and noncompliant problems exist in the safety signs at the mine entrances. So four kinds of prohibition signs and four kinds of instruction signs that meet the standard requirements at the mine entrances are determined and that one kind of prohibition signs, three kinds of warning signs and one kind of instruction signs can be placed at the mine entrances are explained. At last the two kinds of layout design of safety signs are got and make it sure that the safety signs should be set at the same side of the mine entrances which serve as a reference for practical application.
