Description
The Highest-Severity Workplace Safety Sign — Required by Code, Built to Last
"Danger" is not a generic word in workplace safety. ANSI Z535.2 reserves it specifically for hazards that could result in serious injury or death if not avoided — high voltage, confined spaces, moving machinery, fall hazards, chemical exposure, and authorized-personnel-only zones. The red oval header, white background, and specific lettering proportions are not stylistic choices. They are regulated formatting that auditors, insurance inspectors, and your own workers recognize as the highest level of warning your facility can post.
At Graphics Decal HQ we manufacture custom Danger Signs in Winnipeg to ANSI Z535.2 specifications on durable aluminum, ACM (aluminum composite), or adhesive vinyl substrate — colour-coded correctly, lettering height matched to viewing distance, pictograms aligned to ISO 7010 standards where applicable. Standard stock messages, custom-worded signs for site-specific hazards, and bilingual English/French signage for federally-regulated facilities are all available, with rush production for compliance deadlines.
Whether you are a Winnipeg construction company managing high-voltage and fall-hazard zones, a Manitoba manufacturer preparing for a CSA audit, a Canadian utility marking electrical substations, a healthcare facility marking biohazard and authorized-personnel zones, or a chemical processing operator labelling hazardous material areas, the right danger sign protects your workers and demonstrates compliance.

Graphics Decal HQ is Winnipeg's locally operated workplace safety signage manufacturer — operated from our facility at 2095 Logan Avenue and trusted by Manitoba construction companies, manufacturers, utilities, healthcare facilities, and municipal contractors for danger signs that meet ANSI Z535.2 specifications and pass workplace safety audits.
Danger signage compliance is not about putting up any sign — it is about putting up the right sign with the right header colour, lettering height, pictogram selection, and contrast ratios. ANSI Z535.2 specifies exact formatting requirements, and CSA and provincial OHS regulations layer additional requirements on top. Our team understands the compliance framework and produces signs that meet the standard, not generic templates that look close enough but fail audit scrutiny.
We manufacture every danger sign in our Winnipeg facility on calibrated wide-format UV and screen-print equipment. Aluminum and ACM substrates source from name-brand suppliers (3M and equivalent reflective sheeting where applicable), not generic offshore stock. That sourcing difference matters at year five, when other signs have faded into illegibility and yours are still audit-ready and legally compliant.
For compliance-deadline projects — new facility opening, audit preparation, post-incident remediation — we offer 48hr Rush Production on most stock formats, with local pickup at 2095 Logan Avenue or Canada-wide shipping for facilities across Manitoba and beyond.
For broader workplace safety signage (warning, caution, notice, fire/emergency), see our Safety Signs. For floor decal danger and caution signage, see our Danger Stickers and Caution Stickers. For warehouse-wide signage programs (aisle markers, zone identification, rack labels), see our Custom Warehouse Signs. For traffic regulatory signs on private property and parking lots, see our Traffic Signs and Speed Signs. For directional and wayfinding signage, see our Directional Signages.
