French OSHA “Think Conserve Energy” sign in various sizes, materials, languages & optional features

French “Pensez-y! Économisons l’énergie”—which translates to “Think Conserve Energy”—sign of various sizes and different materials: Plastic, aluminium or self-adhesive vinyl. English and bilingual signs also available when local regulations allow it. You can select an optional UV-protecting lamination to preserve the colours longer; for superior visibility, you have an alternative between a retro-reflective pigmentation and a photoluminescent coverage. Sizewise, 7” X 5” and 10” X 7” are the most common sizes sold, but any other format can be cut as long as a special order has been placed. Contact Sylprotec for signs in another language, for custom-made signs or if you want one of the options listed above.

The OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Association), established by the US Congress in 1970, is the government agency in charge of the enforcement of health and work safety regulations in the United States. Even though here in Canada, we already have a governmental body taking care of all OHS issues, yet sometimes companies and employers prefer to use OSHA standards which are also in use in Canada. Similar to the CSA, the OSHA also has policies regarding general environmental controls: all the OSHA 1910 regulations. In social psychology exists a theory called social cognitive theory according to which a person’s behaviour can be directly related to environmental factors and personal factors (cognitive, affective and biological). One of the main concepts established by this theory is the production or repetition by which a person can learn, thus can modify its behaviour. A sign such as “Pensez-y! Économisons l’énergie” may seem useless since it warns about nothing in particular, yet it does warn one as the said person reads and reads again signs of such fashion and likely become more aware.Although not mandatory, displaying safety signs is quite recommended to indicate any regulation since it ultimately allows to avoid many woes and sorrows. OSHA signs are well outlined and deliver the message you wish to spread swiftly, regardless of your workers' language abilities.

OSHA signs cover a wide range of circumstances due to their many headers, pictograms, and captions that allow a plethora of combinations regardless of the areas of activity. Signs in compliance with the applicable OSHA standards and featuring the “Think” header convey an informative message promoting a safe work environment. The “Pensez-y! Économisons l’énergie” sign displays a green rectangle at its top and indicates either general instruction, a procedure reminder or the location of any first aid equipment.

Choosing a sign depends on several factors which have to be included in the equation: the ideal material for your workplace, the distance at which the sign will be seen which pins down the size of signs, the way the work environment is shaped which determines the format of signs, etc.

Plastic signs can either be displayed inside or outside. Please note that if your sign is exposed to UV-light, colours will fade faster. UV-protecting lamination will slow down the process of fading but the colours will ultimately disappear. Aluminium signs suit a better purpose outside; of course, they can be displayed indoor, especially in an environment where an adverse impact is likely. Self-adhesive vinyl signs work just fine outside but are better fitted for indoor places.
