The Canadian Standards Association Technical Committee on Signs and Symbols for the Occupational Environment has drafted CSA Standard Z321 in order to warn, inform, and communicate messages in this environment.

Regulatory Symbols
Prohibition:

Mandatory:
an order for obligatory action.

Warning Symbols
Caution:
potential hazard.

Danger:
definite hazard.

Information Symbols
