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, distribution centres, healthcare facilities, schools, and municipal contractors for safety signs that pass audits and survive the environments they are installed in.

Safety signage compliance is not just about putting up a sign — it is about putting up the right sign, in the right colour, with the right pictogram, in the right location. ANSI Z535 specifies header colour codes, lettering height, symbol selection, and contrast ratios; CSA and provincial OHS regulations layer additional requirements. Our team understands the compliance framework and produces signs that meet the standard, not generic templates that look close enough.

We manufacture every safety 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 readable and audit-ready.

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 workplace safety in floor decal format, see our Caution Stickers and Danger Stickers. For immediate danger / no-entry signage, see our Danger Signs. 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.
