Think Safety Sign

Think Safety Sign – MS0097

The Think Safety Sign (MS0097) is a photoluminescent ISO 7010 mandatory pictogram carrying a general safety-awareness reminder for use throughout a vessel’s workshops, engine room, deck work areas, and crew common spaces. Manufactured to marine-grade specifications, the sign is built to withstand the corrosive, high-humidity conditions found aboard vessels while remaining clearly legible in both daylight and low-light or emergency lighting conditions.

A short, unmissable safety-awareness message reinforces the culture of vigilance that underpins every other item of PPE and procedural signage on board. The Think Safety Sign gives an unambiguous, language-independent visual reminder that reinforces the vessel’s overall safety culture and helps the Master and Safety Officer demonstrate an active, visible commitment to crew welfare during port state control and flag state inspections.

Why Face Protection Matters

While this sign carries a general safety reminder rather than a specific PPE instruction, it forms part of the broader suite of mandatory signage required throughout a vessel’s workshops, engine room, and common areas. Consistent, standardised signage across all mandatory-action categories – PPE, procedural instructions, and general awareness reminders – reduces confusion for multinational crews and visiting contractors, ensuring that every worker recognises the same blue-and-white mandatory action pictograms regardless of their first language. A clearly posted Think Safety Sign at high-traffic crew areas is a simple but effective reinforcement of the vessel’s overall safety culture.

Compliance and Certification

This sign is manufactured in strict accordance with ISO 7010 pictogram standards, ensuring the mandatory action symbol is instantly recognisable across international fleets and multinational crews. Ships operating under the ISM Code are required to actively promote a positive safety culture and provide appropriate awareness signage as part of their Safety Management System, and SOLAS-regulated vessels must ensure all safety and mandatory signage remains legible and properly maintained throughout the vessel’s operational life. For further detail on SOLAS requirements, consult the IMO’s official SOLAS resource page. Fitting a compliant Think Safety Sign at every relevant crew area supports your vessel’s readiness for ISM audits and Port State Control inspections.

Installation Recommendations

Install the Think Safety Sign at eye level in high-traffic crew areas such as workshop entrances, engine room access points, muster stations, and crew mess notice boards. Use marine-grade adhesive, rivets, or a mounting bracket suited to the substrate, and position the sign where it will be seen regularly by passing crew. Avoid locations subject to direct high-pressure washdown or excessive vibration that could loosen fixings over time, and inspect signage during routine safety rounds to confirm photoluminescent visibility remains effective in an emergency blackout scenario.
