SCIENCE SAFETY AND LAB SAFETY POSTERS
Printable wall posters that put the safety rule where the work happens. Sixty-six posters, one hazard each: the eyewash steps, the fire extinguisher, the table saw, the fume hood, the glove chart, the GHS pictograms. Every rule comes from the body that governs it, with the source printed on the poster, and a code in the corner opens the module that teaches it.
Start making your walls Safer with Safer Safety Posters by Science Safety.

What every poster gives you
Letter size, white background, drawn to be read from across the room.
One hazard per poster
One rule set, one drawing, one page. A poster for the eyewash, a poster for the saw, a poster for the spill, not a wall of fine print.
The rule, from its source
Every line comes from the body that governs it, at the current edition, and the source is printed on the poster for anyone to check.
A code to the module
Scan the code in the corner and the module that teaches the rule opens. The poster is the reminder; the module is the training.
Prints on any printer
White background, letter size, ink-friendly. Print it in the office, pin it where the work happens, replace it when it fades.
The module behind every poster
A poster on the wall is a reminder of something a person has already learned. So every Safer Safety Poster is drawn from one of our modules, and the code in its corner opens that module. New staff scan it and take the training. Experienced staff scan it and refresh the rule. Nobody has to guess where the poster came from or whether it is still current.
Every poster carries a catalog number and a revision, and when a rule changes the poster is redrawn. All of it is built to the Science Safety Teaching Standard, the written standard behind every course we sell.

Look for the mark
Every poster carries it at the top, beside the catalog number, the same mark that is on every course and every certificate.
