Three Categories of Signs, One Source

Regulatory and warning signs communicate laws, facility rules, and access policies. You’ll find them in parking lots, building entryways, restricted areas, and public spaces. They set expectations and outline policies before a visitor takes another step.

Workplace safety signs and OSHA signage cover hazard identification, fire safety notices, emergency exit marking, PPE requirements, and equipment warnings. Construction sites, warehouses, healthcare facilities, and manufacturing operations all carry specific posting obligations. A missing sign in the right location isn’t just a compliance gap. It’s a safety gap.

ADA compliant signs, including braille and graphic signs, are required in permanent rooms and spaces: restrooms, stairwells, elevators, fire exits, and office or suite identification. These signs must meet precise technical requirements covering font, contrast, tactile characters, and Grade 2 braille. What many businesses don’t realize is that compliance doesn’t mean generic. Compliance signs can be produced to match your brand colors and interior finishes within the required formatting standards.

Common facility types requiring this signage span nearly every sector:

Commercial offices and multi-suite buildings
Medical and dental facilities
Retail spaces and restaurants
Hotels and hospitality venues
Schools and government buildings
Warehouses and industrial facilities

Full-Service Compliance Signage for Cherry Hill & Camden County

Pulling together a compliant signage program across a full facility is more involved than ordering individual signs. Placement rules, mounting heights, door-side requirements, and visual standards all have to be right before a sign goes up. Our Cherry Hill team includes graphic designers, project managers, and visual communication team members who manage projects from start to finish: design, fabrication, and installation under one roof.

We offer survey and permitting services, which means we can assess your facility before production begins rather than after. For bulk orders across multiple rooms, suites, or buildings, we review requirements before anything goes to print. That single point of accountability reduces the coordination effort on your end and keeps the finished product visually consistent throughout your property.

FASTSIGNS® of Cherry Hill, NJ holds a 4.7 average customer rating on Google, and our clients across Camden County count on us to make compliance signage feel manageable, not overwhelming.

ADA Sign Technical Requirements

ADA compliant signs follow specific design and installation standards set under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The requirements below apply to signs identifying permanent rooms and spaces in a facility.

Design and Lettering Standards

Font: Sans-serif letterforms only, without added embellishments or decorative strokes
Contrast: Background and text colors must exhibit sufficient contrast for readability
Finish: Non-glare finishes are required to prevent light interference
Tactile characters: Must be uppercase and between 5/8 inch and 2 inches in height
Character spacing: Individual characters must be spaced a minimum of 1/8 inch apart and a maximum of 4 times the raised character stroke width from each other
Tactile text and pictograms: If a sign contains a pictogram identifying a permanent space (such as a wheelchair symbol or restroom gender symbol), tactile text descriptors are also required

Braille Placement

Braille lettering must be placed below and centered to all text on the sign
A minimum 3/8-inch space is required between braille and any other sign element, including sign borders
Sign text must maintain a minimum 3/8-inch space from the sign edge
All ADA compliant signs must include both raised tactile characters and Grade 2 braille for visitors with visual impairments

Mounting Height and Door Placement

The baseline of the lowest raised character must be a minimum of 48 inches above the finished floor
The baseline of the highest raised character must be a maximum of 60 inches above the finished floor
Interior ADA signs must be installed on the latch side of the door leading to the room being labeled
Signs may not be mounted directly on a door
If latch-side space is insufficient, the sign may be placed on the nearest adjacent wall in a clearly visible location

Safety Sign Color and Shape Standards

Safety sign colors follow internationally recognized conventions that communicate meaning at a glance, before a viewer reads the text. Understanding these standards helps businesses specify, verify, and interpret workplace safety signs correctly.

Standard Color Meanings

Red: Prohibition and danger: do not do this, fire equipment location
Blue: Mandatory action or notice: required conduct, PPE instructions, and general facility information
Yellow: Warning and caution: hazard or risk present
Green: Safe condition: safe direction, safe location, no danger
Black: General information: neutral instructional content

Pictograms in Safety Signage

A pictogram is a symbol representing a word or idea through pictorial resemblance to a physical object. In safety signage, pictograms communicate hazard types, escape routes, and health hazards across language barriers. Common examples include exit signs, fire extinguisher location signs, emergency exit signs, no smoking signs, and safety directional signs.

Sign size should correspond to viewing distance. A sign needs to be legible from the point at which a person must act on the information: before they reach the hazard area, not after.
