Pictorial Database

Overview

This database was developed to assist designers and technical illustrators in communicating effective safety messages through the use of consistent "industry-recognized" pictorial representations. Development of the database is guided by industry professionals and will be expanded as more product and process-specific pictorials are identified.

The downloadable graphical files are in formats (EPS and DXF) that can be imported directly into or opened in a variety of graphics and computer aided design software packages. The EPS files were saved in Adobe ® Illustrator 7.0 and the DXF files were saved in AutoCAD ® Version 13.

This database is:

• searchable by use of categories and keywords;
• inclusive with pictorials for both hazard identification and hazard avoidance;
• freely available to the public;
• a non-exclusive list of common "industry-recognized" pictorials;
• and subject to revision without notice.

It is NOT intended to promote or endorse any type format of safety sign or message.

A variety of National and International standards which include examples of pictorials, safety sign designs and symbols used for controls and other displays are available. See a representative list.
