Essential Signage That Keeps Your Business Safe, Accessible & Compliant
Clear, compliant signage does more than inform—it protects your people, supports inclusivity, and keeps your business in line with local regulations.

At FASTSIGNS® of S. Mississauga and Oakville, ON, we specialize in creating signs that meet specific legal standards without compromising on style or clarity. From high-traffic areas to restricted zones, our signage helps you communicate critical information in a way that's easy to understand and fully compliant.
What Are ACA and Regulatory Signs?
The Accessible Canada Act (ACA) is federal legislation designed to identify, remove, and prevent barriers to accessibility in public and private spaces across the country. Signage plays a major role in this by supporting individuals with visual, cognitive, or physical impairments in navigating your business safely and independently.
ACA-compliant signage is used to identify permanent spaces, accessible features, and wayfinding elements throughout your facility. These signs often include tactile characters, high-contrast visuals, and Braille.
Regulatory signs, meanwhile, are required for safety and legal compliance. These signs are commonly found in:
- Stairwells – Indicating floor levels or emergency exits
- Elevators – Communicating capacity limits or emergency procedures
- Fire Exits – Marking escape routes clearly and visibly
- Entryways – Displaying hours, accessibility info, or security notices
- Parking Lots – Designating accessible, reserved, or no-parking zones
Both types of signage are vital for safety and legal compliance—and they help your business make a good impression by showing you care about accessibility and safety.

Key ACA Sign Requirements
To ensure your signage is compliant, several design elements must be followed:
- Tactile Characters and Braille – Raised letters and Braille translations for individuals with vision impairments
- High Contrast and Non-Glare Finish – Improves readability in various lighting conditions
- Consistent Placement – Mounted at a standard, reachable height to ensure usability
- Easy-to-Read Fonts – Sans serif or simple serif fonts to enhance clarity
We ensure all ACA signs we produce meet or exceed these standards, while still reflecting your brand's visual identity.
The Importance of Compliance and Clarity
Installing proper signage shows that your business values safety, accessibility, and equal access for everyone. Whether you're helping a customer find an accessible entrance or guiding staff to an emergency exit, your signage plays a major role in how people experience your space.
Failing to meet accessibility or safety requirements can lead to costly penalties and put people at risk. Thoughtful signage helps avoid those issues while enhancing your reputation as a responsible and inclusive organization.
